Reminder: Round 6 of the Hivechess Tournament S12 , Friday, 19h GMT
Dear chess fans!
the 6th round of S12 is played tomorrow, Friday 8th Jul., 19h GMT, as usual.
The current standings after 5 of 10 rounds you can find here.
It is time for Swiss mode, and some faster stuff again!
Mode: 3+0 (3 minutes per game, no increment), 9(!) rounds Swiss mode
Tournament Link: https://lichess.org/swiss/5MR333pn
The price pool contains already >277 Hive!
RULES
- For Hivers, Steemians, Blurters, noise.cashers and all others!
- Players of all skill levels are welcome, from newbies to experts, you just need a free Lichess-account and to be part in our team!
- Every Friday is one round
- Time mode is varying (5+0, 3+2,...)
- 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. In order to be counted, at least 3 games must have been played.
- Occasionally a round may be divided into 2 skill classes
- 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: This season goes over 10 rounds and the tournament points are summed up. All Hivechess-related post rewards are pooled and 70% go to the price pool (PP). The tournament winner will get 40 Hive as bonus, the runner-up 15, and the rest of the PP is divided among all players equally (30%) and according to the number of tournament points achieved (70%). 50% participation is required in order to qualify for the prices.
- There will be a special price of 15 Hive for the highest performance in relation to the own rating (counted by averaging the rating after the first and the last round)
- If I don´t know your Hive username, I can´t consider you in the final rankings, so please let me know your Hive name in the comments!
Swiss Tournament Rules
There are several differences between the "normal" arena mode and the Swiss mode which needs to be considered:
Arena tournaments | Swiss tournaments | |
---|---|---|
Duration of the tournament | Predefined duration in minutes | Predefined max. rounds, but exact duration unknown |
Number of games | As many as can be played in the allotted duration | Decided in advance, same for all players |
Pairing system | Any available opponent with similar ranking | Best pairing based on points and tie breaks |
Pairing wait time | Fast: doesn't wait for all players | Slow: waits for all players |
Identical pairing | Possible | Forbidden |
Streaks & Berserk | Yes | No |
Points | Win:2, Draw 1, doubled if on fire | Win:1, Draw: 1/2, Not paired: 1 |
Late joiners | get no points | get 1/2 point gift |
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 on Friday and good luck to all!

(just let me know if you don´t want to get the mentions)
When do you think will Magnus decide if he defends his title? I think it would be fair to let the chess community (and Ding Liren) know as soon as possible!
Good luck everyone!
It will be an exciting tournament tomorrow
Good luck for my friends
