Hive_Chess_Weekly_Tournament_Banner_RED.png Hello Chess lovers!


Welcome to the reminder post for the fifteenth round of the HiveChess weekly tournament, held every Saturday.

First, I’d like to remind us that this first season will end on the 29th of November, after 22 rounds. There will also be a fun tournament in December, and the new season will begin in January. There will also be more chess onboarding during that period. I did some statistics for the 14 rounds we’ve played so far, If you are interested, click the link below

Additionally, 10% of this post rewards go to @chesspricepool. You can also set @chesspricepool as a beneficiary for your sam.chess related articles to receive more upvotes and help grow the pool for the Friday event.


In round 14, IM @maaestroask regained his crown in a grand style dominating the event. Would he dominate on Saturday? Or is this the beginning of a change in the event?
