This Friday is fun chess time on Hive!

Hi chess fans!

To bridge the waiting time until the next official Hivechess season (or until someone else creates a tournament on Hive (@chessbrotherspro, @schamangerbert, @the-real-betman, anyone?), let´s play some chess just for fun!

This Friday, the 8^th March, at the usual time there will be a Chess960 (or "Freestyle-Chess" as it is now called) tournament for all Hivers!

OPEN TO ALL SKILL LEVELS. All you need is a free Lichess-account and to join our team (password is "Hive"). 25% of the rewards of this post go into the next season´s prize fund and 25% to the Hivechess HBD savings account on @chesspricepool !

The winner gets 50 GLX right away sent into his Hive-engine wallet! GLX is the utility token of the NFT soccer game Genesis League Goals.

Mode: 3+2 (3 minutes per game, 2 sec. increment per move), 60 min. Chess960 arena with no streaks, rated.

(just let me know if you don´t want to get the mentions)

Result:

50 GLX were sent to the winner @samostically, Congratulations!

That only 8 player participated, is a bit disappointing. We probably need a longer break to stir some interest again...
In the meantime keep practicing!


Let me know in the comments, in case you prefer another chess variant in the future, e.g. Crazyhouse or even Antichess???
