RE: Reminder: Tomorrow, Friday 19h GMT, the first 4 rounds of the Hivechess "Candidates Tournament" will be played!

White challenges Black at the given time.

I thought the higher rated player sends the Challenge. I'm a bit confused. (Can i just send my opponents a challenge within the time frame). That way, it's easier to prove availability.

It would be interesting to see how it plays out tomorrow.
I'm playing a OTB chess tournament soon. Tomorrow If i arrive at the hotel early, I'd video record my games. !PIZZA

Sorry for the confusion. Yes, initially it was that the higher ranked player challenges, but this might get tricky if both players have similar ratings. With the updated rule, it is more easier to determine who starts.
