    So after some discussion in the Wynncraft Discord, I have decided to organize a chess tournament on January 7th, this Saturday. The tournament will be a knockout bracket with an initial 16le prize for the winner of the tournament. Time control will be blitz 5+0

    If there is positive interest shown from the poll about wanting a higher prize pool, I will edit and add. The tournament will take place on Lichess or Chess.com, whichever your opponent and you prefer.

    If you are interested in participating please DM Panderift#8426 on discord with your Lichess/Chess.com Profile, IGN, and Time zone and I will add you to the bracket.

    I will make the brackets based on ELO and time zones so it is the most fair for everyone, Thank You

    I am really bad at chess, so I might as well have proof to back up my claim.

    Its mostly casual and may even go into Sunday. Ill publish the bracket sometime on Friday with discords. You can then message your opponent when you are free to play the match. It is very loosely structured to allow for more people with inflexible schedules to play. If an issue arises with scheduling with your opponent let me know.

    Sorry to the few individuals who were interested but due to the very low and kinda depressing turnout of the event. I have decided to cancel the event. Im sorry for any inconvenience
