What: Chess tournament
Time and date: August 1st, 19:00 UTC
Tournament link : lichess.org/tournament/bS23MfFY password bagood
It will take place through the lichess website, and commentary of the games will be provided by sha b, navi and halle through twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/casualba).
For those unfamiliair with lichess (or chess in general), watch the video below. It will cover how to join the tournament through the lichess website, and it will include some basic strategy for anyone that is new to chess.
The games themselves will be 5 minute games per side, without increment (so up to 10 minutes/game).
We’re leaning 6 to 9 rounds (60-90 minutes total), depending on the number of participants.
After the rounds, we’ll ask the top 2 players to do a best-of-three in order to determine the chess champion (format 3 min + 2 sec per move).
The winner will be crowned “Chess Champion” in both discords, as well as receive a bit of osrs gp.
There will also be some prizes in other categories, detailed below. These do not require you to be amazing at chess, so anything is up for grabs.
We hope to see most of you this saturday!

Note: this is a for fun event. Lichess has excellent detection of people cheating using engines and will often ban these accounts right away, or within the next couple of hours. While we hope nobody will ruin this event by using engines, this is partially why we wait a day or two before administering rewards. Cheaters will obviously be excluded from rewards, and this might echo into other sanctions like exclusion from future events.
