Thursday Night Blitz · Week 1
🎃 Opening night of the Strategem Cup Series, and it's Halloween week. Bring your spookiest gambits.
Thursday Night Blitz is one hour of fast, friendly chess: join any time between 7:00 and 8:00 PM Central, get paired as soon as your game ends, and play as many 5+3 games as you like. Win and climb; lose and you're straight into the next game.
Every week counts toward the Season 1 standings, and tonight is the easiest night to grab an early lead. Week winners earn 150 Gems (100 for 2nd, 50 for 3rd), everyone who plays scores at least one point, and the top 8 after four weeks play the Strategem Cup Final for $100 / $50 / $25.
