All quite difficult ones, no obvious next steps, and little time to make permutations combinations in 8 minute tournament.
I couldn't understand. I stood second and my prize is 373. The person who stood third got prize 387.
could someone explain how the 3rd position fetches higher prize than 2nd position?
I am new at this site and have yet to get the bearings of it.
Thanks.
@vsrawat, you've participated in a handicap tournament, where you can win despite scoring lower than more experienced players. However, players with a greater headstart get a lower prize. To increase reduce your headstart, you'll need to participate in tournaments regularly and score high. I hope that helps 
And how are headstarts counted? Why I got 8 headstarts? and everyone's headstart is not equal?
And what is the effect of headstart?
Thanks.
Because the number of points given for a tournament with a handicap depends on the rating of the players.
