Dear chess fans,
after quite some time a new tournament is overdue, isn´t it? Fortunately @sammy00 is doing monthly Chess960 tournaments, overwise it would be quite boring here :)
But this Friday at 10pm (one hour later than usually!) there will be a 10+0 arena, yes you saw it right, for the first time since ages we will play a rapid tournament! More time to think - more time to blunder 😆
It is sponsored by @lordbutterfly, the newest member of our Lichess blockchain chess team and founder of https://lumensocial.net/, a new Hive frontend with an AI-feed and an integrated job market where you can offer your services and create your own tokens, called Meritum, for free! More about those tokens here. Give it a try!
Prices: The winner gets 5 Hive, the second 3 Hive and the third 2, moreover THE TOP 5 get Meritum tokens of @lordbutterfly (8,5,4,2,1), in total worth >30 USD! So you definitely don´t want to miss out the action!
Mode: 10+0 (10 minutes per game, no increment), 80 min. arena, no streaks, berserk allowed

See you all on Friday and good luck!
20% of the post rewards go to the sponsor of this tournament, @lordbutterfly !
Results:
We were 12 participants with an average of 1886. Not too bad since there was only 2 days notice period. The berserk rate was 64%, I guess the time format was too slow for many :) It was quite a close matchup for the top ranks. At the end the winner was - not surprisingly - IM @maestroask (Odnoobraz). Runner-up was @mikmai (Lavidacontinua123), behind him myself as third and @southgamer (who had the best tournament performance!) as fourth. Congratulations to All!
Final standings:
5 Hive was paid out to @maestroask and 3 to @mikmai. 8 @lordbutterfly-Meritum tokens will go to @maestroask (Odnoobraz) 5 to @mikmai (Lavidacontinua123) 4 to @stayoutoftherz 2 to @southgamer and 1 to @lailawrites (Ohieku)
Thanks for joining and see you next time on the chess board!!
By the way, if you want a tournament played on Hive, you can have one organized by me, I offer this service on Lumen:
And if you have a service or anything you want to offer to the Hive community, you can use the job market on Lumen! https://lumensocial.net/creators It is still in Beta but in principle working and you could try it out and help to make it better!
