Welcome to the Algorand Berlin event!
We're happy to have you join us for an exciting day filled with blockchain discussions, networking, and, of course, some friendly chess competition.

As part of our event lineup, we're hosting a Hand & Brain Tournament, where teams will test their teamwork in a chess battle. This tournament is going to be a fun and engaging experience for all.

Registration: 19:00
Start: 19:30
Time control: 3+2, 5 rounds (Swiss system)

Register yourself or with your chess fellow and face off against another duo of minds!

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
🤌 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

Engage in this fascinating chess format and test your teamwork skills! See you at the board!
