own logo for chess hive
Since a couple of weeks ago in my country (Venezuela) has been living a total closure of all sports and cultural activities due to the Coronavirus but that has not prevented chess and their organizations generate movement and high-caliber tournaments throughout the country, in fact many of the states are actively playing every day in official tournaments that the same organizations and players plan and perform.
Most of the national competitions have been postponed or directly cancelled due to the quarantine but that has not prevented a series of extra tournaments in the Lichess community where national champions have been defined as well as various team competitions with most of the states in my country participating, if you don't believe me just look at the calendar:
And these are just some of the more than 30 competitions played, a real success for a sport that causes so much fascination, although many of the players are not encouraged to play online tournaments because of lack of internet or directly because of lack of motivation I have a plan to encourage more players to participate while we can promote Hive in a creative way in this quarantine.
With all these tournaments taking place and so many groups being created in social networks I see the possibility that Hive can create a sponsored tournament or be a sponsor in other training tournaments delivering rewards in the Hive currency, I have seen and supported users like @flaws taking initiative in this area by making a platform like Steem possible.
With the rise in the price of Hive
Today is the time to promote in a comprehensive way by all possible means to attract more users and make the blockchain better known among users, is to do it today or wait another fall into the abyss, so I propose this type of activity that allows other users to know the community while generating significant activities in the chess community of my country.
Sponsoring tournaments is not only an easy way to advertise Hive but also to show that authors with good ideas can generate income directly without intermediaries, that would motivate many people to join Hive.
Besides that we can also add an option in which the prizes can be given either in national currency (VEF through @orinoco) or we can open you an account in Hive and deposit them in your accounts so that you get familiar with the community
Any comments you may have would be excellent to see how much support there is for this kind of initiative to promote tournaments with the help of Hive. Later on I will be making a post detailing how the tournaments would be done and who knows, maybe I can start doing them on my own with the support of the users ;D
*Hive ON
It really great to see smart and motivate people begin to promote chess and hive. As users like @flaws and @cerati communicate their great ideals how chess and hive can benefit their country, we should all know that any success that they generate can be duplicated worldwide.
Dear @cerati, there are already chess tournaments ongoing here on Hive,
