To celebrate the addition of the Bullet time control in Immortal Game, as requested by our community, we have organized a tournament featuring Alireza Firouzja, the world's #4 chess player and a force to be reckoned with in Bullet!

Do you have what it takes to challenge the King and earn a share of the highest prize pool in an IGE tournament ever?
