Dear chess fans,
yesterday the 6th round of season 17 was played, a 4+0 Swiss tournament over 9 rounds with 21 players. For the rules please refer to the announcement post. Welcome to Hivechess, @purapapita, and welcome back, @schamangerbert, @fiona777 and @maciejficek!
This time @eniolw ended up as winner (for the second time this season) with 7/8 points, only @samostically was able to take him down in a dramatic time scramble! Runner-up was @dhilan04, followed by myself, with both 6/8! Ranks 4 and 5 went to @samostically and @kintokris. Congratulations to All!
It was my best result since a long time, but a good portion of luck was involved!

Players can switch between the tournament tiers in case their rating changes! A rating in Italic indicates that this player is in "danger" of changing tiers!
In tournament 4, @eniolw is now only 3 points away from the first place!
See you all next week - and keep practicing!
IMPORTANT:
In this season the rules are in that way, that in order to qualify for the juicy prizes, you need to have participated in 5 rounds! That means to all 14 players, that have so far played only once, you need to show up for the remaining 4 rounds, otherwise no prize for you! Just wanted to emphasize this to prevent surprises later (but I am afraid anyway nobody will be reading this far).
