It is with great pleasure that we announce the new Noesis League! This is a league spanning across 6 rapid tournaments with the time format 10+0 through the fourth quarter of 2024. The goal is to be the ultimate chess player among Noesis. The top 3 finishers after the conclusion of the league will receive a prize.
The format is simple: every Wednesday there will be 5 rounds of rapid chess, and the standings will be saved and continued throughout the league. The best 5 of the 6 tournaments will count towards your total. Don’t worry though, it is possible to skip a day or join later.
