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 ❤️

I’m in, BabaDuda in lichess
Awesome! I’m Fabiozeh on lichess.
Made a Lichess account to participate: @library_patron
I am sure I will lose spectacularly, but if even I’m willing to join, nobody can use the excuse that their rating is too low to participate.

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.

Needless to say, I didn’t have a realistic chance. However, I’ve a lot of fun. Looking forward to the next proper licking.
I’m in: @vincenius
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.
Link to the post : There is some desync issue with lemmy.world and feddit.de
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.
Let’s start the first round! As we’re only 7 (edit: 9 now) 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
