Crypto & Chess Tournament 

 

Wondering IF you like both Chess and Crypto?  Perhaps you are new to Chess based upon the success of the show 'Queens Gambit' or a longtime player. Did you know that there is an upcoming Chess Tourney w/ such headliners as 'Pomp'?  It is called fittingly "Cryptochamps" and will be powered by Chess.com and Coinbase , WOW, my first nice thing to say about Coinbase!

What are they playing for?  Fame & prestige; nope they already have that! The Crypto influencers are playing for a prize pool of $25K,  which will be spread to several charities.  Is it too late to setup my charity?

Where can you watch the Tourney?  On Chess.com's Twitch channel

What is the purpose? The purpose of Chess, of course is to continue to help you develop pattern recognition and strategy skills.  It can be enjoyed from a very young age to very old. Heck, it might even stave off that brain rot disease (Recall I am not a doctor and I don't play one on TV either).  However, the  Cryptochamps event is designed to bring more attention to the Crypto realm!  A HUGE win for everyone, even those not playing!

Are you a member of Chess.com?  Its a 24x7 online Chess offering, they have a couple of different memberships (free and paid), they also have education and puzzle offerings.  Additionally, they are offering a PogChamps which is armature chess tournaments. 

Summary If you think about it Crypto and Chess both require skill and strategy! It will be interesting to see how the Champs show their multi-faceted talents during the tourney.  Stay Classy!
