Hey all! Big thanks for NM @visualdennis for making this tournament possible
It has helped all of the participants enjoy their Crazyhouse & zh960 hobbies much more.
The mini-matches were intense and fun. Honestly - 3+2 felt like a FAST time control due to the complexity of the game, and the fact we had to play different starting positions throughout the event, and figure moves & plans by ourselves.
I truly recommend the two full studies (linked above) - mostly for those who enjoy ZH (/zh960) - and see how the players played and their comments about the games (+ all the amazing "missed-lines" given by Stockfish)
Congrats for @Mugwort & @LegionDestroyer for making top places [and also good luck for both of them in the main CWC Candidates Stage!]
Thanks for everyone else ( @the-lone-wolf , @ciw , @blunderman1 ) for being sportive and completing all of their matches.
I myself also published a public ZH960 Study about my shield games of July 11th, 2022. Feel free to check it out here:

.
I hope to see you all in the next ones (and hope for more good initiatives) - and in this upcoming zh960 shield arena on PyChess.org [10.10.2022 - next Monday!] :) .
Wish you all the best,
FM Crazy_Eight from Israel
