Dear chess fans!
Round 3 of season 18 is played this Friday, 03rd May 2024, at the usual time.
The current standings after the first two rounds you can find here.
It is time for our first break from classic chess, let´s play some Fischer Random chess instead!
Mode: 4+1 (4 minutes per game, 1 sec. increment), 70 min. Chess960 arena!
Tournament Link: https://lichess.org/tournament/1Z6isOrB
The prize pool contains already app. 130 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 10 rounds are summed up. 65% of all Hivechess-related post rewards go to the prize pool (PP). Each of the 4 rating-tiered tournament winners will get "x" Hive (at least 20), 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 (75%) and the number of rounds played (25%). In order to qualify for a prize you have to participate in at least six of the 10 rounds!
- There will be a special prize of 5 Hive for the player with the highest tournament performance in relation to his rating.
- 500 LEO will be again sponsored by @leofinance, details to be determined
- 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! Community or badge accounts can participate but are not qualified for rewards! Only individuals can get prizes.
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!

Servus @stayoutoftherz ,
hab mich bei lichess nun registriert, auch bereits The Blockchain Chess Team eine Anfrage
um Aufnahme gestellt, jedoch stellt sich mir die Frage: für was, und wo kann ich das Passwort "Hive"
verwenden?
lg !PGM 🤠
Super, Du bist drin.
Du wurdest nicht nach einem PW gefragt? Ich hatte das PW mal installiert, aber @schamangerbert hat es anscheinend wieder rausgenommen.
Grund des PWs ist, dass viele Nicht-Hive User sich fürs Team registriert hatten, einmal mitspielten und dann nie wieder.
Nicht vergessen, dem Turnier selbst beizutreten https://lichess.org/tournament/1Z6isOrB und dann zu der Zeit anwesend zu sein. Wenn man die zugewiesene Partie nicht innerhalb von 20 Sek. startet, dann gilt sie als verloren!

My dad tried to teach me chess ♟️ as a kid but I didn’t have patience for it. I have often thought about giving it a go but at 39 years old felt intimidated trying to play. Maybe I’ll take a look. What’s a good way to start as a total newbie beginner?

I already get messages for the tournaments. I missed this last one because lichess restricted me from playing for an hour and it was during the time for the tournament. I will be sure to play in the next one.
Why did lichess restrict you? It is the first time I hear about it.
When you start a game and do not complete it a couple of times, it happens
