Terms & Conditions

These terms explain how Knight Rush tournaments work. Please read them before registering.

Platform nature

Knight Rush hosts structured online chess tournaments. Games are played on Lichess. Knight Rush manages registration, access, results review, prize tracking, and payout records.

Entry and participation

Users must sign in with a verified Lichess account, pay the listed entry fee before registration closes, and enter only once per tournament event. Knight Rush may assign users to tournament batches for operational reasons.

Tournament batches

Tournament batches may be created when needed. Each batch may have a participation limit. Users are assigned to one batch only and must play only in their assigned tournament or batch link. Joining a wrong batch or using another link may make the user ineligible for prizes.

Registration close

Registration closes Saturday 11:59 PM IST unless otherwise stated. Payment or order creation after registration close may be blocked. Delayed payment confirmation may be handled according to system records.

Fair-play review

Lichess standings are provisional. Official results are published only after fair-play review. Knight Rush may disqualify players for suspected cheating, wrong account usage, wrong batch participation, duplicate participation, or rule violations. Review may take up to 72 hours.

Prizes and payouts

Announced prizes are subject to eligibility and fair-play review. Prize awards are batch-specific where multiple batches exist. Approved payouts require valid UPI details and are recorded manually after review. Knight Rush may withhold or cancel prizes in case of violations.

Account and identity

Users are responsible for using their own Lichess account. Lichess username or account mismatch may affect eligibility. Duplicate accounts may be disqualified.

Changes and cancellation

Knight Rush may reschedule, cancel, split, merge, or modify tournaments for operational reasons. If a tournament is cancelled, refunds or credits will be handled according to company policy.
