Hi chess fans!
To not get rusty until the next official Hivechess season let´s play again some chess just for fun!
This Friday, the 22th March, at the usual time there will be a Chess960 tournament for all Hivers! Or will it be Chess960? Maybe let´s pick another variant?
OPEN TO ALL SKILL LEVELS. You just need a (free) Lichess-account and to join our team (password is "Hive"). 25% of the rewards of this post again go into the next season´s prize fund and 25% to the Hivechess HBD savings account on @chesspricepool!
In addition every participant gets a bonus point counting for the upcoming season 18 (if at least 4 games have been played)!
The winner gets 400 COLONY right away sent into his Hive-engine wallet, the second 200 and the third 100! COLONY is the utility token of the new arcade-style NFT gaming platform from the makers of Splinterlands.
Mode: 3+1 (3 minutes per game, 1 sec. increment per move), 60 min. XXXXXXX arena with no streaks, rated.

BREAKING NEWS: On X there was a live-stream showing a quadriplegia patient (cannot move anything below the shoulder!) with an implanted brain interface from Elon Musk´s Neuralink playing chess just by thinking the moves! Quite amazing, isn´t it. One level higher than apes playing pong ("mindpong").
For such patients this is a huge improvement in their life, but it may open up a direction that ultimately can be harmful. Dangerous or the fate of humans anyway, what do you think?
