The chess event Puzzle Battle held on 10 November featured engaging activities across all skill divisions.
Participants of intermediate and advanced divisions competed on Lichess Puzzle Racer, accumulating points using
laptops or phones. A 30-minute open puzzle discussion preceded the semi-finals and finals, where players cast their screens on the projector in a best-of-two format to determine the winners.
Participants of the beginner division had a presentation and a thematic puzzle-solving workshop. For the top 3 scorers, the event concluded with an exciting “first-to-solve-5-puzzles-on-the-board” challenge to decide the winners.
The event successfully combined competition and learning, fostering skill development and camaraderie among chess enthusiasts.
