Hello Chess lovers!
Welcome to the reminder post for round 17 of the HiveChess weekly tournament, held every Saturday.
It’s important for us to remember 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. 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.
As usual, We have the Friday event. Tomorrow’s edition is a Swiss event.
Here is the link below to the post for more details:
Additionally, 10% of this post rewards go to @chesspricepool after payout. 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.
The chess world mourns the passing of the young chess player Daniel Naroditsky. He was one of my favorite chess players and streamers. He shared so many good lessons and instructive teachings. In his beloved memory, the tournament on Saturday will be a special one to honor him. We will be playing a thematic opening event! The King’s Indian which was one of his favorites, and he has several teachings on it. You can take your time to watch the videos or study and get prepared ahead of the event on Saturday.
▶️ Mastering the King's Indian Defense | GM Naroditsky’s Theory Speed Run
▶️ Stonewall & King’s Indian Masterclass | GM Naroditsky’s DYI Speedrun
Someone even made a “Play the KID like GM Daniel Naroditsky” study on lichess.
Next up is in two days 25/10/2025

@stayoutoftherz I’d send to @chesspricepool manually after payout!
Do you play the KID? I’m sure you’ve faced it many times playing 1.d4
I do face it with White quite often, and I don´t like it. I often get demolished against stronger players. With Black I don´t play it.
Thanks for the reminder!
Round 17! Almost at the end of the season on the 29th. Looking forward to the fun tourney in December! 🥳
