Chicken Match



So, what exactly is this "chicken" match? Well, it is simply a series of training games between myself and Marek, organized into a match format consisting of six games, either with a time control of 15+5 or 15+10, depending on our mood for the day.

The games are to be analyzed, and after each victory, one is awarded a chicken, as illustrated below.

Draws are rewarded with a worm, as depicted below.

Upon collecting two worms, one is rewarded with a chicken, and the worms are then discarded. You cannot bring a worm with you to the next match even if you want.

When one has accumulated 100 chickens, one receives a hen, as shown below. What one is supposed to do with it, no one knows.

Collecting 200 chickens earns you a rooster, as seen here:

Once this feat is achieved, you have a full poultry farm, and the whole affair starts anew.

Naturally, LNO is represented by Steinitz  in the profile picture,

while the obvious choice for mcstorytaller is Tal.

We play the games with alternating colors, and here you will find the result of today’s match, which ended in the exceedingly rare score of 5-1 in favor of LNO. The outcome of the analysis will be published in the "Analyses" section and the matches in tthe "Tournaments" section
