HiveChess: Saturday Showdown (R22) – Season Finale with 200+ HIVE in Prizes
Hello Chess lovers!
Welcome to the reminder post for round 22 of the HiveChess weekly tournament held every Saturday. This round would be the last for this first season.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the sponsors that helped make this season a special one. Our key sponsors @aliento, @yabapmatt, @stayoutoftherz & @brianoflondon who directly encouraged and supported this series and chess posts in our community.
Good news! For next season, starting in January 2026, we have a new sponsor in the lineup (TBA). Since I’ve consistently managed this tournament for so long and so efficiently using my funds(as I haven’t powered down this account yet), next season will be larger, longer, and packed with greater prizes and exciting changes.
Huge thanks also to everyone who plays every Saturday and who writes about tournaments on Hive. I appreciate your consistency. There would be a fun tournament sometime in December!
As usual, We have the Friday event. Tomorrow’s edition is a 3+2 blitz arena event.
Here is the link below to the post for more details:
Additionally, 10% of this post rewards go to @chesspricepool. You can also set @chesspricepool as a beneficiary for your sam.chess related articles to receive more upvotes and help grow the pool for the Friday event.
This chess tournament is held every Saturday and is hosted by me @samostically, you can check out the Introduction Post for more details
