Thank you for the suggestion, however I already did this during my first tournament - and it didnt end well at all. I've learned my lesson and will never do a participation reward again.
Have in mind a tournament is a privilege, and an incredible one if you ask me (considering you all literally have the exact same chances with a special account for it, meaning rank 1 player has the same chances as rank 15). If I have to give out participation rewards even after this, then whats the point? We might as well give out free stuff to everyone...
I added more boxes to those who reacted on the post btw.
Hey everyone! The upcoming Chess World Championship is definitely shaping up to be exciting with Ding Liren and Ian Nepomniachtchi in contention. It's interesting how the dynamics are unfolding, especially with Magnus Carlsen not defending his title this time. Who do you think has the edge in the upcoming championship? It'll be intriguing to see how it all plays out!
