Hivechess Tournament Round 5:@tungphong wins again!

Dear Chess fans,

the 5^th round of Season 9 was a 6+0 arena with 26 players participating. This time the average rating was 1843, lower than previously due to several less strong players showed up - which is a good thing, as this league should provide opportunities for all players. Welcome back, @rafaelaquino (ajedrezclub2t) and welcome, @schmidi (the only other Austrian player as far as I know, not sure if @manncpt (Toful) counts as Austrian 😃 - in Lichess you could add the country in your profile, to sort this out for good)! By the way, we could also do some stats how the countries are performing! Is Venezuela leading or Nigeria?

@tungphong (blackswan21) again could win this round, for the third time in this season! Congratulations! But this time the gap to runner up - @jaki01 again -was not that huge, "only" 4 points. Third was @samostically, followed by @eniolw (4^th) and @pamboy27 (5^th) who had equal points.
Of note, @eliaschess333 could get a solid sixth rank, amidst players with higher rating! Well done! Also @rodrook and @giacomono (KingJames4) had their best result in this season!

Here the result table of R5:

The rules you can look up in the announcement post.

@tungphong (blackswan21) cemented his first place further and has now 15 points lead. It seems there is nobody on the Hivechess tour who can take his title away anymore. At this point only some technical problems or schedule conflicts could be a showstopper for him, if he keeps his current playing strength.
No other changes in the top ranks. Just @vjap55 who had played very strong in the last rounds, could not play and therefore lost 5 ranks.

What about the extra price for the highest performance in relation to the own rating?
Well, after 5 rounds it looks like this (as rating I counted the average between the rating after the first and the 5^th round):

Rank	Hive name	Lichess name	Av. Rating	Av. Performance	Difference

1	@b0s	Da_k1ng	1210,5	1645,6	435,1
2	@manncpt	Toful	1284	1619,5	335,3
3	@vasigo	vasigo	1099	1427	328

See you all next week!
