This Sunday, we return to the board.

Six positions. Two hours. No engines, no shortcuts β€” just you and the quiet tension of the squares.

After the clock runs out, the solutions will be walked through by β€” ideas unpacked, lines untangled, the hidden gears revealed.

Entry is Rs 50, and the full entry pool will be shared among the top three solvers.

Bring patience. Bring nerve. Bring that stubborn spark that refuses to give up!

Sunday. Let’s think together. β™ŸοΈ

At the Temple of Chess, we hosted our very first solving contest, a cosy gathering of seven brave minds venturing into the world of problems and studies. Chess composition may not always bask in the spotlight, but it harbours some of the game’s most breathtaking magic!

And this truly feels like a beginning. At our Temple, we will keep nurturing this quiet, intricate art through regular solving contests, a small sanctuary for those who take delight in the deeper currents of thought underlying the chaos pawns and pieces. πŸ”₯😍

On 5th December 2025, the doors of the Temple of Chess open not for theory warriors but for the wanderers, the ones who like their chess a little wild, a little unpredictable, and a lot of fun. We’re kicking off the first ever edition of Funky Friday, a weekly tradition we hope will become the heartbeat of our little chess community. β™ŸοΈ

This inaugural session features Freestyle Blitz (Chess960): five rounds, played at a 5+3 time control, fast and lively enough to keep you on your toes without rushing the joy out of the game. The opening books stay shut, your instincts do the talking. Expect curious starting positions, spur-of-the-moment ideas, and the kind of games that leave you laughing at your own creativity.🀩

Reporting is at 4:30 pm, with play starting around 5 pm.
The entry fee is Rs. 50, light, friendly, and just enough to keep the stakes playful.πŸ₯³

In the spirit of keeping things fun and fair, every rupee collected goes back to the players, divided among the top three finishers.πŸ†

A quick note: there are only 14 spots, which keeps the atmosphere warm and easygoing.πŸŽ‰

If a touch of chaos, some good company, and a new weekly ritual sound appealing, come claim your place in the very first Funky Friday. We’d love to have you at the Temple for an evening of wild, creative blitz.πŸ’―
