The password for the pairings is grandmasterofpepperoni

Hive account@eniolw will pair with Hive account@samostically in the first pairing here

Hive account@vjap55 will pair with Hive account@rosmarly in the second pairing here (pairings decided by tournament performance during the series and a little RNG)

This week each of you will pair off into pairs and duel each other in a half hour of blitz (no bezerk or streak modifiers) may the best player win.

From the winners of each pairing a correspondence challenge will be held and a link will be sent in the lichess room chat for us to view the match as it progresses. This match will be held between the winners of these pairing. The rules for the correspondence will be unlimited time and the winner of that match will be the victor and grand champion.

The winner of the final match will receive a Steam Key for Regicide (a chess game on Steam with an XCOM like mode on top of regular chess mode), 100 PIZZA tokens, The Rise of a Grandmaster NFT by Hive account@tygertyger , and an enjoyable conclusion to this first series of tournaments. This event will be streamed on discord here and on twitch here (if all goes well).

Good luck contestants. May your pieces never falter. Anyone who comments on this post about Chess or PIZZA will get a hot slice of za.
