Hi chess fans!
Are you missing the regular chess events on the blockchain? Can´t wait for the next season of Friday, Saturday, Pizza or CBL tournaments?
To bridge the summer gap, tomorrow Friday, the 19th Aug., at 19h GMT I offer a fun chess event for all, who have time and the braveness to join this special tournament! OPEN TO ALL SKILL LEVELS. All you need to have is a free Lichess-account. 70% of the rewards of this post go into the next season´s price pool. The winner gets 5 Hive!
Mode: 4+2 (4 minutes per game, 2 sec. increment per move), 60 min. arena mode with no streaks. Berserking allowed.
Tournament Link: https://lichess.org/tournament/y7GELkrm
ATTENTION! There will be some special rules applied, so please read them carefully!
The rules:
- A win by checkmate gives an extra point to the Lichess final ranking
- A draw before the 30th move loses a point
- A win by flagging in a losing position (>2 according to Stockfish) -> 50% reduction of the points achieved
- A win against an opponent with >250 less rating points -> 33% reduction of the points achieved
- A win against an opponent with >500 less rating points -> 66% reduction of the points achieved
- A win against an opponent with >250 more rating points -> 33% increase of the points achieved
- A win against an opponent with >500 more rating points -> 66% increase of the points achieved
Example: If someone with a rating of 2100 wins against a 1800 player, instead of 2 points, he will get only 1,34 points (if he had berserked, he will get 2 instead of 3).
If someone with a rating of 1800 wins against a 2100 player, instead of 2 points, he will get 2,66 points.
These rules are an experiment, but theoretically one could apply them to a regular event as well. Let´s see how this works out!
Good luck for tomorrow and I hope that you all can participate!
