Also known GMs shouldn't be allowed to make new accounts for the tournament. It's basically trolling the viewers.
#12 and they get an easier pairing in the first rounds, faster streaks
My theory on why lichess don't distribute prizes more equally is that in the case of Magnus not winning and donating the prize money back, the ''hype'' of such huge prizes for all places would go away and fewer players would play in the next lichess arena with possibly smaller prizes.
I'd prefer more evenly distributed prizes also, but if in fact Magnus donated for the first place we have to be thankful for that. Anyway, looking forward to watching the tournament.
Star Wars Day tournament... May the Force (Fourth?) be with you! :)
You guys tarded or what? Of course he donated only to the first place. Evenly distributed prizes would also take all the fun out of it.
Yes. We tarded.
Why are the tournaments with 1-minute time control?
3+2 or 5 - 0 would give us more exciting games.
