Dear chessfans,
the final tournament day of the HCT (Hivechess Candidates Tournament) will take place tomorrow, at the usual time!
Will @eniolw succeed and earn his first (Friday) Hivechess champion title? The current standings you can find here.
Tomorrow the last pairings with the opposites color will happen; please note that this time again 5 rounds will be played.
For reference here is the list of participants:
The pricepool is currently app. 132$ (excl. the registration fees which will be added), in Hive it is however app. 346 thanks to the fact that the HBD part of the rewards was not yet converted to Hive.

Please post your result after the game in the Lichess team chat (typically only the winner posts).
RULES
- Registration fee was 10 Hive (registration is closed, but you can register already for the next HCT!). At the end of the tournament you will get it back unless:
- Not showing up at one tournament day forfeits not only the games of that day (i.e. counted as losses), but also 2 Hive of your registration fee (missing one game only costs 0,5 Hive)
- Every Friday 4 to 5 rounds are played, every 15 minutes, according to the schedule announced in the reminder posts; showing not up within 5 minutes forfeits the game
- The player with the White pieces always starts the game
- The time mode is 5+1. Players can agree upfront to a different (time) format (e.g. 3+2 Chess 960), but the game should not take more than 15 minutes!
- Please post all your results in the team chat
- The winner of each match gets 1 point, a draw gives half a point, all points are summed up and the player with the highest total score is the champion
- In case two players have the same number of points, the direct match(es) count. In case this is draw, the one with the more wins scores higher. In case this is equal too, the Neustadtl Sonneborn–Berger score will be applied.
- PAYOUT: 70% of all tournament-related post rewards (and the penalties of missing participations) go to @chesspricepool. The tournament winner will get 30 Hive, the runner-up 10 and the rest of the PP is divided among all players equally (50%) and according to the number of tournament points achieved (50%).
How to challenge a player and kick off a game?
1.Click on the magnifier symbol on the upper right corner of the Lichess site.
2.Type your opponent´s Lichess name (it´s not case sensitive) and click on the "challenge" symbol on the hovering menu!
3.A menu pops up. Ensure that "standard", the correct time format and "rated" is set (unless both players agree upfront otherwise).
4.Once all is set correctly, click on the White king, to start the challenge. As soon as your opponent accepts the challenge, the game starts.
See you tomorrow and Good luck to All!
Good luck to all the potential winners! And congratulation in advance...
I hope so!
Good luck 🤞🏾
Thanks. I wasn't lucky enough.
Don't worry you will get them next time. ✊
!PIZZA
Let's go. Hopefully I can move one or two places up
The excitement increases with the advanced stages, we'll see what @jaki01 will do
і propose to make adjustments or like as a sign of agreement with the reglament
or I suggest a draw to everyone
A draw by agreement is not acceptable! If no games are played, it will count as a loss for both!
We are here to play, not to negotiate (that would be the job for the politicians).
I need to get a chinchilla again so that she plays debuts for me
