RE: Don´t miss the final round of the Hivechess Tournament S17 this Friday!

1. Splitting the tournament would be harder to organize but this depends on the appetite of organizers. Will there be split prizes as well? This would benefit the lower rated players more and may attract more to join.

2. Not everyone can play a lot of rounds so maybe more players with less prizes is better in my opinion.

3. This is best decided by organizers and I agree that this is better longterm. Players tend to have a short term view and may want to keep all the prizes.

4. Long time controls may tempt players to use chess engines so in my opinion let's stick to blitz time controls.

Thank you for organizing and I hope to join if I can wake up 😀
