This is an *open event*, so bring a friend and join 🫶

*How does this work?*
1. Sign up individually for this event, with the duos being announced the day before the event.
2. The least experienced is paired with most experienced, second least with second most, and so on.
3. The more experienced player names a piece, the other player plays a move with that piece (castling is a king move).
4. No other chess game related communication is allowed between duos during the match.
Format: (10min + 5s per move), count on 30 min a round 🏆
- 4-8 teams: Full round robin
- 9-12 teams: Swiss + t4 single elim bracket
- 13+ teams: Swiss + t8 single elim bracket
Prize: Will be announced/shown at a later time, we intend to obtain a trophy of sorts :D
We hope to see you there!
Love,
Checkmates and Link Board ❤️
