Looking forward to the CWC Grand Final and we will see you there!

Making it even more professional, with arbiter, might increase
the chance that SuperGM's will jump on to this ;)

It should not be a big problem. It has been used in Lichess tourns earlier.
One i watched, with Arbiter webcam, was Magnus vs C9C9C9... in their semi.
Which Penguin won :)

The more professional this tourn is, the more likely it is that it will stay as the #1 tourn to crown the CWC in the future :)

Just my two cents...

To add some fun to the final 20 games of the CWC Grand Final between @Jasugi99 and @catask, I'm contributing another 100 USD to the prize pool. There will be an extra 5 USD for each game won in the last stretch of 20 games coming up within the next 24 hours. Hope everyone enjoys the remaining games! Cheers, Jann

Congratulations to @catask for winning the Crazyhouse World Championship 2021!

He won the title with an impressive margin of 40.5-19.5 against defending champion @Jasugi99. The result had already been decided at game 41 out of 60, when catask held a decisive lead of 31-10.

It would be fair to say that @catask has brought a new standard to crazyhouse chess with a higher level of strength seen in prior years, defeating all 3 ex-champions (@JannLee, @opperwezen, @Jasugi99) convincingly during the tournament on his way to winning the championship.

It should also be noted that @catask has very generously donated his prize money back to the CWC fund for 2022.
