RULES

  • For Hivers, Steemians, Blurtters, noise.cashers and all others!
  • Players of all skill levels are welcome, from newbies to experts, you just need a free Lichess-account!
  • Every Friday is one round
  • Time mode is varying (5+0, 3+2,...), rated, berserking allowed (except in Swiss mode)
  • The winner of each round gets up to 10 points, the second 9,... and the 10th 1 point. Sometimes the round is divided in 2 skill classes, then the winners get up to 7 points.
  • In case two players have the same number of points, the one who played less rounds is first. If that is equal too, then the average tournament performance decides.
  • PAYOUT: This season goes over 5 rounds and the tournament points are summed up. All Hivechess-related post rewards are pooled and 90% go to the price pool (PP). The tournament winner will get 15 Hive bonus and the rest of the PP is divided among all players according to (1) the no. of rounds played and (2) the tournament points achieved (1 and 2 weighed equally), but only if a player has participated at least 3 times (if <3 games are played in a round it will be not counted)! So everyone has a chance to get something and the more often you participate, the better!
  • If I don´t know your Hive username, I can´t consider you in the rankings, so please let me know your Hive name in the comments or in the Lichess chat!
  • If you have not yet joined our team in Lichess, please do it here, so that you can participate (required for the Swiss tournaments only).

Please share this announcement among your (chess) friends and colleagues!
The more participate, the more fun! And maybe some are even interested to join Hive and it´s Chess Community?

See you on Friday and good luck to all!

To those who are reading until here:

As you may know, there are now apparently 3 chess events every week on Hive. This one, the tournament on Saturdays by @schamangerbert and - new - the one on Sundays organized by @chessbrotherspro!
Would you prefer to do the Friday one every 2 weeks only?
And by the way, would you be open to variations like seen recently, to make it mandatory to participate each time, to get rewards? I am a bit reluctant to do so, but it would have its advantages. Maybe a bonus reward for all that participate 100%? Let me know your ideas!

Sort:  

Hello @stayoutofherz it's been a really long time since i left steemit, I'm back and still don't know how hive works but it's good to see more than one tournaments done and yes I'd be participating in the next tournament with my lichess account "Zgm_samostically"

Greetings @stayoutoftherz for me is very well your format of every Friday with variations and that is every Friday. With respect to the 100% participation in the tournaments is great and if we have rewards even better. I always can, when I can't it's because of electricity problems here in Venezuela. See you in the next tournament.


Thank you and happy with the payment received and even better thanks to chess and friendship. Here in Venezuela it solves some of our basic needs.

Good to hear! Thanks for your continued support and engagement!

Hey nice to see you @stayoutoftherz ! O totally missed the previous season because I was working at that time however I'm looking forward to getting back in the regular basis you know, currently I'm out my city and I'll problem miss the tournament this Friday today but next week I think I'll be able to be there !

Sounds great right ? Hahaha we are fulling up the whole weekend with chess lol Friday-saturday-sunday so you may say that it's our "champion league" haha we are open to make this even better, we are all ears to bring new ideas that allow our projects to grow up and strengthening the community.

Also thank you very much for the support @chessbrotherspro is getting stronger thanks to you and the support of the whole chess community we really really appreciate it my friend

By the way? How's about if we organize a live streaming si we can coment the games and things like that
We are doing that with @chessbrothers so maybe we can do it on Friday's tournaments too, let's me know what you thing about it
The idea it's like breaking the ice you know xd and getting to know each other a little bit better that will be bring some good vibes to the tournaments

Sure, I am open to that but I have no experience with it. I personally can´t imagine playing and talking at the same time :)

That is an awesome idea, I support it, too! 😎

Would you stream?

We can talk about it at the next #HiveMeetupVienna! The invitation post is online now! 😉

I would love to stream and play too.

I hope this presents itself again ... I like chess very much.
But this weekend I'm unfortunately scheduled.
With this in mind, I wish all participants a lot of fun and may the better man win.

Thanks! It is every Friday, so maybe next week you can make it!

Maybe... Thanks =)

Would be nice to play and get to know you! :)

I think that @eniolw should obtain more Hive than me, because he had much higher place.

Those are the rules, you participated more often. Otherwise it would be unfair that e.g. a newbie has to compete with a GM in the same league.

Thanks for the update and congrats to the winners!!

Lovely to see more and more chess @tipu curate @invest_vote

I'm down to play all three tournaments, but unfortunately I have to work and the tournament I miss the most is the one on Friday. Thank you for inviting people to join the ChessBrothers' tournament too.

Well it's the first time I have heard of Hivechess. Pardon my lack of knowledge, it seems I still have to explore a lot in hive ecosystem.
Nice post by the way👍 ............

No problem, it´s not even possible to hear about all things ongoing here!

True sir..........

You are welcome in the Hive Chess Crew! 😉
