1+0 • Bullet • 1h

Rated • Arena

Your next move matters. Daily Arena brings Nigerian players together for one focused hour of bullet chess: connect, compete and play for your place in the standings.

SCHEDULE
Monday–Thursday, 5–8 October 2026. A separate arena each evening, 8–9 PM WAT (19:00–20:00 UTC). Standard chess, 1+0 bullet, 60 minutes. Games and standings are hosted on Lichess; entries and prizes are handled by 64SQRS.

ENTRY AND ELIGIBILITY
₦200 entry per arena. Open to Nigerian players of any rating with at least 500 rated bullet games on their linked Lichess account before entry. Sport64sqs checks the 500-game requirement manually; confirm eligibility with the host before paying. Lichess also applies its available 200-game automatic filter. Passing that filter does not replace the 500-game rule, which applies to every entrant, including titled players. Use the same personal Lichess account to register and play.

PRIZES — ₦15,000 PER ARENA
Overall 1st: ₦5,000
Overall 2nd: ₦3,000
Overall 3rd: ₦2,000
Best under 2000: ₦2,000
Best under 1800: ₦1,500
Best under 1600: ₦1,500

Rating awards use the bullet rating recorded when the player joins through 64SQRS. Under means strictly below the stated rating. One player receives one prize, the highest they qualify for; an award they give up passes to the next eligible player. Category prizes come from the same ₦15,000 pool, not an extra pool. Each day's entry, standings and prizes are separate.

PLAYING RULES
Lichess arena scoring, pairings and tie-breaks apply. Berserk and streak bonuses are enabled. Return to the arena lobby after each game for your next pairing. Finish games still in progress when the arena ends; Lichess decides which games count in its final standings.

FAIR PLAY
Play your own moves on your own account. No engines, outside assistance, account sharing, collusion, deliberate losses or rating manipulation. Respect opponents and use the reporting tools for concerns. The organiser reviews reported fair-play concerns using the final standings and Lichess findings.

EVENT TERMS
Register through 64SQRS and join the linked Lichess arena with the same account. A Lichess-only join does not establish a paid 64SQRS entry or category-prize eligibility. Entry fees do not increase this fixed prize pool. A cancelled event refunds entry fees through 64SQRS. 64SQRS pays winners from the event prize pot when the event ends, according to its results and payout process. Eligibility must therefore be confirmed before entry. Lichess hosts the games; the organiser is responsible for this event's prize commitments.
