How to play

In the chess variant known as "Hand and Brain" two individuals play each color. One participant, termed the "brain," selects one of the six chess pieces—king, queen, rook, bishop, knight, or pawn—while the other player, referred to as the "hand," executes a legal move with the named piece.
The twist lies in the fact that the "brain" cannot disclose the exact move they wish to make or offer any clues to assist the "hand" in determining the move.

Some rules

🧠 The combined rating of both players should not exceed 4000 ELO
🤌 With 30 seconds left on the clock, a "hand" takes over the game
🧠 Each team should have a name (silly names are welcome)
🤌 You're allowed to change your teammate before the tournament begins
🧠 You can change your hand-and-brain roles each round
