Dear chess fans!
the 7th round of R15 is played tomorrow Friday, 14th Apr., at the usual time.
The current standings after 6 rounds you can find here.
After the bullet round last week, let´s relax a bit with more thinking time per game!
Mode: 5+3 (5 minutes per game, 3 sec. increment per move), 70 min. arena
Tournament Link: https://lichess.org/tournament/8yfxs2e3
The prize pool contains already app. 428 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!

In the world championship match, in the second game Ian won in great style against Ding and is currently leading 2 : 1!
If you have not yet, you have to check out that game, e.g. here!

How I wish I made use productively of my high school years learning about chess!☺️ It was one of my regrets.
The way we see a lot of people have taken part in it and it will be very interesting tomorrow when it happens.
I want to play in this tournament but timing is midnight. But I will try.
Awesome, looking forward to it!
Just a heads up that you have a spelling error, it should be "prize pool" and not "price pool".
I guess I will stick with price pool, also the account name is like this
They mean 2 different things, but I would update the article though.
Price means 'the amount of money you pay to buy something': The price of a hotel room includes breakfast in some countries. Prize means something you win in a competition or game: The first prize in the competition was a week's holiday in California.
OMG, indeed, I was not aware! Thanks!
you mean with using an s or a z for spelling? 😉
Most spellcheckers are American English, it is an unrelenting battle.
See you guys in 2 hours!
Hey, I will participate today! Last Friday I couldn't because it was my birthday and I wasn't home haha. Good luck to everyone!
I'll try to make the tournament, my lichess and hive name are the same @splinterob

Wundert dich das??
Well, I read a little bit about what this drama is about. Personally, I feel that if you are determined enough to insult/offend someone, also be prepared for the consequences of such actions. I can't expect to go in against someone armed and expect them to not act defensively or take their actions as well.
I'd say that it is better to wait and apologize sincerely in the near future :) We must be responsible for what we say and do imo.
Was soll das? Nicht jeder, der wissenschaftlich denkt, ist automatisch ein Spritzbefürworter und für Zwang. Wenn Du dauernd nicht zusammengehörige Dinge vermischt, dann brauchst Du Dich nicht wundern, wenn Du ignoriert wirst. Mir ist es mittlerweile zu schade um meine Zeit für diese immer gleichen Debatten.
