Hello Chess players on Hive,
Yesterday was the second round of the weekly Saturday HiveChess Tournament. We had a total of 29 players who clicked to join the event and about 25 players who actually played a game.
Congratulations to @maestroak for winning this round with a large gap. Thanks to everyone that played. It was also nice to see the appearance of @schamangerbert who has hosted more tournaments on Hive than I can possibly remember.
