Hive_Chess_Weekly_Tournament_Banner_RED.png Hello Chess lovers!


Welcome to the reminder post for round 16 of the HiveChess weekly tournament, held every Saturday.

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. If you have any suggestions on how our hive chess tournaments can improve or how the community can be better, feel free to contact me. I’m really happy with the progress and hopefully more players can stay here and build even outside the board.

As usual, We have the Friday event. Tomorrow’s edition has a tricky bullet time control and I think it would be fun.
Here is the link below to the post for more details:

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.

November 29 could seem far but to me it's not. I wish the tournament could be forever 😅

If November 29th isn't far, then January and season two would come quickly!

Greetings friend, I'll try to participate, I'm looking for the time, I need chess
