Dear chess fans,
yesterday a Hivechess fun tournament was played, a 3+2 Crazyhouse arena!
12 players joined the competition, for some of which it was the very first experience with this chess variant! Welcome to @hannes-stoffel, @awesomeintrigue (zackawesome) and @jesustiano to chess on Hive!
This picture (made with Midjourney) is just to distract and confuse you 😀!
Back to business. No surprise that the winner was the only titled player in the field, @maestroask (Odnoobraz_bcm). Best untitled player and second winner was - somewhat unexpected - @pokerarema (ragnarokgame) with a rock solid performance! I landed on rank 3, followed by @rodrook (who demolished me in a game) and also a strong playing @tin.aung.soe. Congrats to All!

The prices:
4 Hive were sent to @maestroask and
1 Hive to @pokerarema
🗓️ Season 15 will start in 2 weeks, on Friday, Mar. 3rd. You can mark it already in your calendar! 🗓️
Until then, have a nice time and keep practicing!
Before you go, I have 2 questions for you, please let me know your preference in the comments:
1: Do you want to have chess variants like chess960 or crazyhouse included in the next season?
2: Do you want to have again a knockout stage in the next season or a "normal" one?
I ask because I feel there are some downsides to a knockout stage which might outweigh the positive aspects.
Potentially of interest to:
