Jumping off of this post: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34370440" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34370440</a><p>I thought it'd be fun to host a tournament to see what creative strategies people can come up with. I think the code might need to be cleaned up a tad ;)<p>I'd be willing to put $1,000 down personally to the prize pool.<p>1. What do people think?
2. Does anybody have any experience hosting such a tournament? Any advice?
3. Anybody wanna help make this happen?
I’ll match your $1k! DM me on Twitter if this takes off. Cheers for the ambition.<p>As for hosting the tournament, try to get GothamChess involved. It’s wacky enough that he might just be interested.<p>(Can’t wait to hear him shout “and they sacrifice… THE ROoOOok!”)
Holy shit, that would be amazing! I released this mainly because I really want to know what the best strategies are and how different it is from normal chess.
If you would want to run a tournament for this you'll probably need a better client, potentially with built-in online play. I could be tempted to work on something web based, but it would take a while to finish.
I'm not have a buck(live in South America) not experience hosting chess tournaments, I host in person and online bordgame for 20-100 people, if you need help contact me, ig lautaro_philip
