Armageddon Challenge

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to play under the pressure of the clock, like a Grandmaster in the spotlight? On Saturday, April 12th, we’re bringing the thrill of the Armageddon Championship Series to life.

In the Armageddon Challenge, you’ll face the clock, the tension, and the ultimate test of nerves in one of the most exciting chess formats out there.

  • Registration starts at 17:00, beginning at 17:30

    • White has 5 minutes.

    • Black has 4 minutes.

    • There’s a 2-second increment.

  • 7 Rounds, Swiss System

  • Fee for the tournament is €10

The rule explainer: in an Armageddon game, the player with the white pieces gets more time on the clock than the player with the black pieces. This may seem unfair at first, but there's a catch: if the game ends in a draw, Black is declared the winner.

This challenge is for everyone, all levels welcome. No pressure, just pure chess adrenaline.
