News

The Racing Kings Olympiad (RKO) has finally finished, leaving only one team on top. It was an exciting match between Team Blicky and Team Royal Racers, but Team Royal Racers take the crown for 2025 scoring 2-1 against their opposers. After Royal Racers secured their victory with 2 sins, Bijiy from Blicky and Schachmatttrainer from Royal Racers decided to battle it out in RK1440! Bijiy won that match. Speaking of Schachmatttrainer, you may wonder who this anonymous FIDE Master is, who suddenly reached 2300 and won the RKO! He is none other than RK Great Holstentor, who reached 2400 in 2020! Welcome back Holstentor! Rex and Gautham made a wonderful study for exciting games in the RKO! You can check that out here. The Racing Kings 1440 tournament has been announced, and is underway! You can follow the progress of the tournament here and here! IMMM is back, and is still alive. We may never know why he left, and if we do know, please tell me! I'm curious!

Player of the Month

"How many Flowers do i have to pay you [to become Player of the Month?]"
"But it would be a nice story. You can write that i came back after 4 years, won the rko and also won most of my matches."
"Thankfully got the best teammates you can have."
Schachmatttrainer has bribed his way (not really) to Player of the Month! How? Because like in the second quote, he returned after 4 years and is as spectacular as ever! He won most of his matches, save Bijiy who took him down in the finals. I'm too lazy to find where else he lost, if he lost again. Sorry!

Game of the Month

Game of the Month has returned for good? Probably not. But here's who won in January! (February and March have not been announced yet) Lichess RK GotM January
