Do you have a rating under 1000 on Chess.com or Fuzz-rating and want to try a chess tournament? Then this is for you!
Fuzzsjakk invites you to the first Amateur Tournament of the year on May 8th from 17:00 at Work Work!
Fuzz Blitz Amateur Lounge is a low-threshold tournament for those new to the chess world. It is tailored for amateurs, beginners, and novices — regardless of age or ambition level.
We use a time control of 7 minutes + 2 seconds per move.
The goal is to engage more people in chess while creating a social arena where new players can compete, connect, and have fun.
To make the tournament as inclusive and motivating as possible, we’ve divided the amateur class (0–999) into subcategories based on Chess.com rating:
*Rookie: 0–299 (brand new players)
*Beginner: 300–599 (new players with some experience)
*Amateur: 0–999 (includes the above + those developing broader chess understanding)
*Note: If you’ve already participated in Fuzzsjakk in 2025, your Fuzz ELO rating applies.
