Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing well!

:bosman: After the wonderful 1st Edition which was won by IAmWinston, I am excited to announce the 2nd Edition of the Bored of Studies Chess Competition! :bosman:

Rise to the challenge and climb your way to the very top! Who will emerge as the BoS Chess Champion?

Games will be played through lichess.org.

The top 5 Bored of Studies chess players of the 1st Edition were:

1- IAmWinston
2- tejmehta3108
3- nilatar
4- username_2
5- pikachu975

The intended format for this competition is a knockout and each game will go for 15 minutes (similar to the 1st Edition). In terms of the rules, this is a draft of what the rules are intended to be. Ensure that you regularly check this post for any updates:
  • Each round will go for a maximum of 7 days. The quicker you complete your games, the quicker you will be able to defeat your upcoming opponents! 😜
  • Each game will have a time limit of 15 minutes per player.
  • Once the draw is released, you and your opponent need to contact each other to agree on a time for your match to take place. You will have to communicate with all of your opponents in order to play all your games.
  • Once a match is over, the winner is required to direct message me (jimmysmith560) with the result. Please don't post results on this thread as doing so obstructs other useful information, not to mention that it can kill the suspense.
  • Since the intended format for this competition is a knockout, a loss means a player is out of the competition and a win means that a player advances to the next round.
  • In the case of a draw, both players will have a rematch. This process will be repeated until one player is victorious.
  • If a player is found to have been cheating, they will automatically be disqualified from the competition, and their opponent will instead progress to the next round.
  • If a player fails to respond to their opponent's message within the maximum time limit (7 days), that player is disqualified and their opponent automatically advances to the next round.
Want to participate? Sign up by filling out the form below:


Remember that skill is the last thing sought! The aim of this competition is for everyone to have a good time, irrespective of age and skill! :D

Given the events of the 1st Edition, the processes of accepting and disqualifying players will become more strict to ensure that everyone who is passionate about chess and this competition gets the best possible experience!

I will announce the list of the participating players and the draw in due course! Make sure that you regularly check this thread!

Best of luck to all players, and let the games begin! ♟️

I have now signed up :)
Who else is joining?
Awesome! Thanks for signing up! 😄

The full list of players and their matches will be announced once we have at least 8 players. If we can get this number up to 16 players, that would also be great!

Bump!

7 players have now signed up, meaning that there is room for one more player to sign up. Any other players who sign up after the 8th player will be put on a reserve list in case one of the main 8 players decides to withdraw or is disqualified, unless we get to a total of 16 players, in which case all 16 players will get to participate.
