This is to let you know that today we have a tournament at 7:45 Indian Standard Time. As per Jeffrey1122's request we don't have a standard(normal) tournament this time. It's a King of the Hill (Swiss-15:3)tournament. Here are the rules and tips of the King of the Hill variant. :-

  • Our main intention/goal is to bring our king to one of the center squares(e4, e5, d4,d5)
  • Once a player brings his/her king in the center the game is ended. 
  • The player who brings his/her king to the center is the winner. 
  • The game may also end in a checkmate, draw, resignation.

The King of the Hill is a popular variant played by several GMs,IMs, NMs,CMs etc.Here is a King of the Hill game played by me.

Black-Paul D'souza


Here, after Qh5 Paul played Nxh5 which is a big blunder(in the King of the Hill variant) because as soon he captured my queen his knight lost the control of the center square e5 and my king was free to go on e5.So that's why I placed my  queen on h5 hoping that he would capture my queen.THANKS.
