20 Blitz | Who is the best streamer?

20 Blitz is the new format on Twitch where streamers compete for the title of the ultimate blitz player. The format is designed to allow players with different Elo ratings to compete fairly and make the challenges balanced.

How does it work?
Regardless of skill level, the guest streamer will play 20 games with a 3+0 time control, facing opponents with Elo ratings ranging from -25 points to +∞. After each game, points will be awarded based on the result, contributing to the overall standings:

» Win: 3 points
» Draw: 1 point
» Loss: 0 points


In addition to regular chess games, three special bonuses are introduced, which the guest can use once during the event simply by announcing it:

COIN
This bonus doubles the points for a win, but be cautious—if you lose, you will lose 1 point instead. It must be used before move 15.

RE-MATCH
The "Re-Match" bonus allows the streamer to repeat a match, but it must be used before move 15. If the game ends before the 15th move, this bonus cannot be used.

½ HALF
This bonus halves the opponent's time. Be careful: it must be used before the opponent has 30 seconds left on the clock (this applies to both the guest and the opponent’s time). The game is won if the opponent exceeds one and a half minutes for the entire game. The match will continue regardless of the outcome, but if this bonus is used, the guest will be awarded a victory.
