How do arena tournaments work?
You can join or leave as you wish in 90 minutes. Just over 90 minutes all the running game over! 2 points if you win, 1 point if you draw, 0 points if you lose. As the winning streak increases, so will the points per match. That is, if you win consecutively, you will get 2 points in the 1st match, 3 points in the 2nd match, then 4 points in each match.
The player with the highest points will be declared the winner.
Note: Unfinished games at the end of the tournament (over 90 minutes) will not be considered
What Is King Of The Hill Chess?
King of the Hill is a chess variant that is very similar to standard chess. The only difference between this variant and standard chess is in the way the game can end.
How To Play King Of The Hill
All the rules of regular chess apply to King of the Hill. The only difference in this variant is that you can also win the game by bringing your king to one of the four central squares of the board. This means that taking control of the d4, e4, d5, and e5 squares is vital!

Good luck to everyone!
