So this is a puzzle forum that I made, and I'm creating a second season as the first season is coming to an end.

IF YOU WANT TO SIGN UP, SAY "SIGN UP" OR IF I SEE YOU PARTICIPATE I WILL ADD YOU TO THE SCOREBOARD. The scoreboard will be edited and updated ASAP. Red numbers in the scoreboard mean you posted something on this forum, but you're not officially signed up. Read below rules/points system, but most of it is self-explanatory.

Rules/How this works

I will post puzzles (usually around 2 a day) on this forum and the FIRST ONE TO ANSWER GETS POINTS for it. You only have to answer the correct first move. The puzzles are usually mate in 2+, but I can throw in some variation. All puzzles posted will have only 1 winning solution. The puzzles will also be normal chess.com puzzles, so you might have seen some before. I will try to pick harder ones, though.

FIRST ONE TO 50000 POINTS WINS!

Those who participated in season 1 will also get a bonus! I will also be editing rules as we go along, because even though we've already finished a whole season over two months, I still haven't figured everything out yet!

Points

The way the points system will work is that you get the amount of points the same as the rating of the puzzle. There will also be a multiplier.

If the first person gets the correct answer in the same minute that the puzzle was posted, they get double the points. If they get it in less than 5 minutes, they get 1.5x the points. If someone gets the correct answer in less than 10 minutes, then their points earned is multiplied by 1.25.

If you write a valid line to checkmate (with the correct first move), you get double the points! If you attempt to write a full line but there is a small mistake, you get 1.5x the points! Do not abuse this rule by writing a completely wrong line in hopes of getting a 1.5x attempted line multiplier. You'll only get it if I see you had the right idea and only one or two moves are off.

Only the first person to answer correctly gets points, unless multiple people get it in the same minute as the first person. In that case, the people who answered slightly later get the same amount of points, but halved or quartered depending on how quickly they answered correctly. If the first correct answer is said after 10 minutes of posting the puzzle, this rule does not apply. I'm not waiting for more than 10 minutes over this forum.

Sorry if it seems a bit complicated, but you'll get the hang of it! 

Have fun everybody!

nice! hopefully some of the people who had the effort but didn't see the s1 forum in time and signed up late can redeem themselves and get a fair chance! also, i know these will be asked a lot, so YES YOU CAN SIGN UP AFTER THE GAME HAS STARTED. ALSO PUZZLES WILL BE SPACED OUT A LOT, AND USUALLY NOT MORE THAN TWO A DAY.
