2025 Christmas Party casual chess960 tournament

We will run a “Chess960” Swiss tournament, 6 rounds, 5 minutes each player with no increment. Blitz rules apply e.g. if a player makes an illegal move, the opponent can claim a win. Unlike previous years, castling will be allowed as per Chess960 rules.

Games are unrated and not to be taken too seriously! Have fun!
