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 ❤️

Needless to say, I didn’t have a realistic chance. However, I’ve had a lot of fun. Looking forward to the next proper licking.

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.

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.
