Lichess Titled Arena 3
The Lichess Titled Arena returns with a $2200 prize pool!The two previous Lichess Titled Arenas were a huge success. 148 titled players played in the previous one, including Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana. Magnus donated his first prize back to Lichess (again!), so this time we'll have a jackpot first prize of $1500. We also received a generous donation of $200 specifically earmarked for this tournament, so we increased the prizes for places 2 through 5 as well.
