Hello Chess players on Hive,
Earlier today, we played the sixth round of the weekly Saturday HiveChess Tournament. We had a total of 18 players who clicked to join the event and about 17 players who actually played a game. We had a lot of players who were missing in action this weekend.
It was a nice tournament regardless of the numbers. IM @maestroask emerged champion again this week with a perfect 100% win rate. We also had of the Strange twins making a podium finish, @dakods in second place. Finishing third was no stranger to the podium @tangibleay.
We want to welcome @suisver who finally played a Hivechess tournament for the first time. Alongside was his mom @cositav making her first appearance too. Welcome to Hivechess! Also a warm welcome back to @stranger27!
