Hello everyone.
Third Chess960 Tournament this year and we have a new winner yet again. New champion every round so far. Sixteenth Chess960 Hivechess or March edition had 5 + 0 time mode. More time with no increment seemed like a reasonable combination. Next one should be a bit faster. If you have any suggestion about time format feel free to comment bellow.
Also we are now on summer time or daylight saving time as of past Sunday here in Europe. So if there is need to change time of the tournament we can adjust it.
