Crazyhouse Tournament #2 on Hive: @maestroask and @pokerarema were the winners

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 Hive account@hannes-stoffel, Hive account@awesomeintrigue (zackawesome) and Hive account@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, Hive account@maestroask (Odnoobraz_bcm). Best untitled player and second winner was - somewhat unexpected - Hive account@pokerarema (ragnarokgame) with a rock solid performance! I landed on rank 3, followed by Hive account@rodrook (who demolished me in a game) and also a strong playing Hive account@tin.aung.soe. Congrats to All!

The prices:
4 Hive were sent to Hive account@maestroask and
1 Hive to Hive account@pokerarema

🗓️ Season 15 will start in 2 weeks, on Friday, Mar. 3^rd. 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.
