Reminder: Round 11 of the Hivechess Tournament S19 , Friday 20h GMT

Dear chess fans!

The penultimate round 11 of season 19 is played tomorrow, Friday the 15th Nov 2024, at the usual time.
Here you can find the current standings after 10 rounds.

Despite I had promised only Swiss tournaments for the remainder of S19, here is a last arena, plus a Fischer random one at the same time! Enjoy!

Mode: 4+2 (4 minutes per game, 4 sec. increment), 70 min. chess960 arena tournament

Tournament Link: https://lichess.org/tournament/fFKQzZfQ


The prize pool contains already 775 Hive!

Rules

  • All players are welcome, also newbies, you just need a free Lichess-account and join our team in Lichess here (password is "Hive")!
  • Every Friday is one round.
  • Time mode is varying (5+0, 3+2, 2+1,...), sometimes Swiss, sometimes maybe Chess960 (Fischer Random).
  • The winner of each round gets the number of points equaling the number of players in that round, the second ranked one point less and so forth until the one on the bottom of the table who gets one point (i.e. the Lighteye-scoring). In order to be counted, at least 3 games must have been played.
  • In case two players have the same number of points, the one who played less rounds is first. If that is equal too, then the average tournament performance decides.
  • PAYOUT: The tournament points of the 12 rounds are summed up. 65% of all Hivechess-related post rewards go to the prize pool (PP). Each of the 3 rating-tiered tournament winners will get "x" Hive (at least 50), the runner-up "y" and the third "z" Hive (depending on the no. of players in each group). The rest of the PP is divided among all other players according to the number of tournament points achieved (50%) and the number of rounds played (50%). In order to qualify for a prize you have to participate in at least six of the 12 rounds!
  • If I don´t know your Hive username, you won´t be considered for prizes, so please let me know your Hive name in the comments!

Please share this announcement among your (chess) friends and colleagues!
The more participate, the more fun! And maybe some are even interested to join Hive and it´s Chess Community?

See you tomorrow and good luck!

Can´t be, I never play e4 with white and with black also never. Too much theory to learn with those openings :)

Sure, in chess960 there is much higher chance for me to play e4 or e5 😃
