Let's do a small Fediverse chess tournament! Everyone is welcome to join!

We will play 10-minute games (10+0) on lichess, a free and open-source chess website. You will be assigned an opponent and will have 2 days to schedule and play your match.

I will decide on the structure of the tournament (brackets, groups etc.) based on the number of sign-ups here :)

Sign up by commenting here with your lichess account name.

Signup deadline is Wednesday, 2pm UTC. Shortly after, I'll announce the first pairings :)

Looking forward to some nice matches โค๏ธ

https://lichess.org/Rgr7yWOK: BabaDuda versus library_patron 1-0

A lot of swings, but hopefully still interesting. As black I was happy to go up in material, but although I knew I really had to keep an eye on king safety, that's exactly what I failed to do.

(Also, as someone used to not playing with time controls, rapid feels so fast. I have no idea how people do blitz or bullet.)

[โ€“] BabaDuda@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah that kingside push is always risky, your king was way too exposed imo

Good game

Let's start the first round! As we're only 7 I think we should do a round-robin :) Feel free to use this comment to post the match + result

You'll have until friday 2pm utc to play your match

Any lurkers around who want to play against me in the tournament? :(

Iโ€™m easy prey ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] _mycowan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I am also not very good, but I love to play and learn from the game. Looking forward to the tourney! Mycowan on Lichess.

vincenius : eulheim

Needless to say, I didnโ€™t have a realistic chance. However, Iโ€™ve a lot of fun. Looking forward to the next proper licking.

@BabaDuda, what kind of times are good for you? 14:00 to 21:00 UTC is best for me, but since the games are rapid, I can be flexible about similar times.

[โ€“] BabaDuda@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Oh no, looks like we're some way apart haha, my timezone is GMT+8

Per your availability I think I'm good for 1400 to 1600 UTC? That's 2200 to 0000 GMT+8 I believe.

Just peeking through the door - Checking if the chess tournament is still ongoing or everyone fell asleep.

[โ€“] fabiozeh@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm still here, but something's definitely off... I can only see this post with my Lemmy.ml account. Lemmy.world is not loading posts and comments correctly :-/

Maybe OP should try a new post?

[โ€“] eulheim@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It seems that there are some syncing issues with lemmy.world currently.

Did you notice a change in the syncing issue? I am hoping this platform will be an alternative to Reddit in the future. I am digging the vibes a lot.
