A Chess960 60+30 Time control event for active lichess players

AnalysisChessTournament
With one game you schedule per week, Starting soon.

Welcome to the Second Elite Round-Robin Qualifier!

After the end of the 1st Elite Round-Robin, the top four from it will qualify for the next edition automatically. If one declines the spot goes to 5th, if two decline to 6th, and if three or more decline extra spots are given for placement in this event. I, https://lichess.org/@/Dude128 qualified via winning Q1 The LFT Knockout with wins against Coolchesscat1, Penpalrdro, and Chessgrinder46869332. Events tend to be standard, it's rare for this one to be Chess960.

Rules, regulations, and the start date.

1. All players must be active in Lichess Classical.
2. The event either starts on Thursday, October 2nd or when a total of 12 players have joined.
3. All players must be capable of playing at a competent level, usually around 1700+ gets accepted but this is at my discretion.
4. Players will be split into two groups for a 60+30 Round-Robin, the top two from each qualify for a Final Round-Robin for the event victory.

My classical events run through this team.

This event as a commitment that could take up to 8 weeks to complete, anyone who joins must be ready for the large commitment, however I'm pretty sure it'll be good fun :D

Here are a few notable games from the first Elite RR Qualifier :D
