Hello everyone.
Fifteenth Chess960 Hivechess Tournament results are here and we have a first time winner in this edition. It was faster time control this time. 3 + 2 seems to be good time format. Maybe it is time we play first no time increment tournament this year or go even faster with 2 + 1 mode for the March edition.
Also, it does not have to be any of these, comment which format would you prefer.
