Hi everyone,
In 2021, the CWC organiser team has decided to introduce a new rule which requires each CWC entrant to play 100 crazyhouse games on lichess.org before the tournament matches begin on 1st March 2021. These 100 games can be played against any opponents on lichess.org at any time control.
This serves three main purposes:
1) Having a rating established from a minimum of 100 games per player allows for seedings and rankings to be created appropriately
2) This will help to discourage players entering with multiple accounts, as there should only be one entry from each person
3) For those that are completely new to crazyhouse chess, this is a good way to warm up and get some practice before the tournament begins
If you've already played 100 games on lichess.org, you do not need to play any more in order to play in the Crazyhouse World Championship. However if you have not played 100 games yet, please play 100 games before 1st March 2021 to ensure that you can participate in the tournament.
Regards,
Jann
