Chess.com宣布举办“山丘之王”国际象棋锦标赛，比赛定于5月6日至8日举行，总奖金池为2500美元。该赛事采用了这一热门变体规则，即选手可通过将国王移动至棋盘中央方格获胜。资格赛将于周二开始，向所有参赛者开放。
Chess.com“山丘之王”国际象棋锦标赛是该平台“社区锦标赛”系列的最新赛事。Chess.com在公告中指出，该变体遵循标准国际象棋规则，但允许玩家通过将国王移动至d4、e4、d5或e5中的任何中央方格来取得胜利，这种规则鼓励大胆的策略，可能导致快速胜负。资格赛将于5月6日和7日举行，每天设有四个时段，采用75分钟竞技场模式，时限控制为3+0。玩家可通过网站上的赛事日程直接报名参赛。组织者可能会要求参赛者在资格赛期间通过双机位设置进行公平竞赛验证；不遵守规定者将被取消资格。获胜者将晋级5月8日的决赛，届时将通过八人双败淘汰赛决出冠军并赢取最高奖金。去年，国际象棋特级大师Mitrabha Guha在紧张的总决赛重赛中击败了国际棋联大师Semyon Puzyrevsky，成功斩获750美元的冠军奖金。
