Dear chess fans!
the 6th round of R15 is played tomorrow Friday, 7th Apr., at the usual time, one hour earlier than in winter time (for those who didn´t switch to summer time, for summer time switchers no changes).
The current standings after 5 rounds you can find here.
It will be a bullet tournament, so fasten your seat belts and prepare for some serious blunders and time scrambles!
Mode: 2+1 (2 minutes per game, 1 sec. increment per move), 60 min. arena
Tournament Link: https://lichess.org/tournament/x7fZNk7L
The price pool contains already app. 375 Hive!
Rules
- Players of all skill levels are welcome, from newbies to experts, you just need a free Lichess-account and join our team in Lichess here (password is "Hive")!
- Every Friday is one round.
- Time mode is varying (5+0, 3+2, 2+1,...), sometimes Swiss, sometimes maybe Chess960 (Fischer Random).
- The winner of each round gets the number of points equaling the number of players in that round, the second ranked one point less and so forth until the one on the bottom of the table who gets one point (i.e. the Lighteye-scoring). In order to be counted, at least 3 games must have been played.
- 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: The tournament points of the 10 rounds are summed up. 70% of all Hivechess-related post rewards go to the price pool (PP). The tournament winner will get 25 Hive, the runner-up 20 and the third 10 Hive bonus. The rest of the PP is divided among all players equally (40%) and according to the number of tournament points achieved (60%). Participation in 4 out of the 10 rounds is required in order to qualify for the prices.
- There will be a special price of 5 Hive for the highest performance in relation to the own rating (counted by averaging the rating after the first and the last round, if at least 6 rounds are played).
- There will be a special price of 5 Hive for the highest gain in rating points during the course of the season (if at least 6 rounds are played).
- If I don´t know your Hive username, you won´t be considered for prices, so please let me know your Hive name in the comments! Community or badge accounts can participate but are not qualified for prices! Only individuals can get prices.
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 tomorrow and good luck to all!

(just let me know if you don´t want to get the mentions)
The new decrement time mode from Lichess where with each move you lose one second, in order to incentivize attractive attack play versus long endgame battles, was of course an April joke!
It could be better with time but anyway, thank for the event :)
I will try to make it this time again. Hope I can at least get one win.
Viel Glück! Spiele unbedingt vorher ein paar Trainingspartien im gleichen Zeitformat!
It's a tournament that will have to be played if we have eyes and hands.

Oh, bullet… I‘m already dead :)
It is hard for the others, too 😄
As usual, i'll be there! Thank you!
holy shit, I haven't played bullet for over 2 years, but it will be interesting to lose Elo! haha, see you tomorrow!
It sounds interesting. I started playing chess last March 20 this year. I'm willing to learn more about this game!
