Rules:

I would like to introduce you to a simple yet very fun competition. Every day you will be given 3 challenges (An easy one, a hard one and a very hard one) that you try to complete in 48 hours in a specific custom variant, for example: "Win a game of Explosive Magic against a 1700+ player without using spells". if your opponent forfeits on time or resigns in an unclear position, it doesn't count!

There will be 11 rounds with 3 challenges each (33 max. amount of points), and a person gets a point for every easy challenge they complete. At the end, the person with the most points wins! In case of a tie, we might have more rounds to decide a winner! Your prize will be a virtual chocolate bar and nothing else

Playing with bots/alt accounts is not allowed!

Teaming with your opponent to complete your challenge is also not allowed!
