How it works
Every weekend, Curious Kings CC will host a tournament with a random opening position (often tactical, uncommon sidelines to main openings). The opening will be determined at least 3 days before the tournament start date so players can prepare, get used to the opening and it's ideas, etc.
The winner of that weekend's tournament will win 🪽lichess patron wings!🪽
This will go on for 10 weeks, the first tournament being on Jan 11th, 2025. The top 3 of each weekend tournament will advance to the next round, a Swiss tournament, where the top 3 winners will be awarded big cash prizes!
Each weekend tournament will be 3+2 blitz as the time control and the Swiss will be 5+3 blitz time control
