Hello everyone. 11th Chess960 Hivechess Tournament is done and there is a new winner. Only two more Chess960 Tournament for this year. We had new starting time at 19:00 CEST (17:00 GMT). What is your opinion on this? We can go 1 hour earlier if that would be more suitable for more people. First time playing with 3 + 3 mode. Personally I did not like it that much. I think increment of 2 seconds is good amount of time per move. Which one do you prefer? Comment which time mode can be next.
@nanixxx (nanixxx) is new to our Chess team. Welcome.
