Bikfoot's Prime Prize Tournament... the results!

On Sunday the 23rd, 2nd edition of the Prime Prize tournament was played here on chess.com and it was a major success! In this post I wanted to show you all some clips from the tournament and the final standings, congratulations to the winners!

There was a tournament?

Yes! And you missed it! Unlucky right? No worries, I will definitely host another one in the near future (maybe even next month?). The original blog with the details regarding the tournament can be found here. A quick summary: The tournament was an 3 hour long arena with the following prizes:

#1 - One year of Diamond membership
#2 - Three Months of Diamond membership
#3 - Three Months of Diamond membership
#5, #7, #11, #13, #17, #19 and #23 - One month of Diamond membership

As you noticed they're all (apart from first place) prime numbers!

The standings

*  Participant was a titled player with a lifetime membership. Prize has been awarded to the next prime number
** Participant has violated the Fair Play Policy. Prize has been awarded to the next prime number

What do the standings tell us? That everyone, regardless of rating had a fair chance of winning a prize! Just look at the #7 claiming a one month diamond membership, with a rating of 1349!

Clips

The first clip shows two heavy weights fighting it out on 64 squares. However, things don't always go as planned do they...

The next clip is something I love the most about the game. Where both players are playing on time and chess is something to get really hyped about:

What's next?

Another tournament of course! This was an amazing success and I really enjoyed doing it. Maybe more prizes? An actually skillful commentator? Who knows! Keep in touch so I can update you when the next one is:
