This was a great arena! Really happy I covered the last 80 minutes or so in this one. Tons of lead changes and an exciting finish!

Congrats GM Bortnyk and all!

As a spectator, I vote for the next Chess960 titled arena with a berserk ban.

With berserk the quality of the games drops significantly, even GMs and IMs make kiddie mistakes, not to mention strategic mistakes. And I want to see the opposite when I watch the Chess960 games.

So, I vote for titled players to play higher quality chess in that Chess960 arena. I believe that banning the berserk option will help that.

I also don't like the fact that in the end, the one who wins the arena is not the one who plays better, but the one who plays more games, using berserk, while playing much worse.

I agree to that but also I think it should be 5+0 and a longer arena.
