I found this move in a game I played yesterday. I'm still improving my chess, so I'm glad that I found this move in a 10 minutes game, even though I realized afterwards that I could have played this the previous move already.

I'm interested in registering for the tournament but I've got no clue as to where to begin? Where can I find the list of teams? How can I request to join a team?
I'd appreciate any help/hint 🙏
