Hello Chess lovers!
Welcome to the reminder post for round 18 of the HiveChess weekly tournament, held every Saturday.
This first season has been better and longer than I expected. I believe there is a lot of room for improvement. Getting people to play chess on Hive and also to write about chess has been my driving focus. Once the tournament ends after round 22, I will make several changes for next season. Changes that should improve tournament participation and community engagement. Huge thanks to everyone who plays every Saturday and who writes about tournaments on Hive. I appreciate your consistency
As usual, We have the Friday event. Tomorrow’s edition is a 5+0 blitz event which I think is great considering the Saturday event time would be lower!
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.
In round 17, We had a thematic tournament. A special King’s Indian Opening. @poseout87 showed brilliance to win the event, he won it without losing any game. @maestroask showed strength also as he finish second.
