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 ❤️

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.)
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
Round 1
vincenius - ∅
Thanks for joining! @_mycowan@lemmy.world @library_patron@lemmy.blahaj.zone @Caboose12000@lemmy.world @CrazyMerlyn@lemmy.ml @Fabiozeh@lemmy.world @BabaDuda@lemmy.ml
@CrazyMerlyn@lemmy.ml absolutely wiped the floor with me, very well played (on their part at least lol)
Looking at CrazyMerlyns rating, I think this will happen to every one of us 😅

Awesome! I’m Fabiozeh on lichess.

Needless to say, I didn’t have a realistic chance. However, I’ve a lot of fun. Looking forward to the next proper licking.
Just peeking through the door - Checking if the chess tournament is still ongoing or everyone fell asleep.
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?
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.
