Dear chess fans,
yesterday the 4th round of S20 was played as a 4+0 Swiss tournament. For the rules please refer to the announcement post. Only 19 players were participating this time, so it was almost like a round robin tournament!
The winner was like in the last round @samostically with 8/9 points, the runner-up @maestroask with the same points, just a slightly lower Sonneborn-Berger score. Third was @dhilan04, already 1,5 points behind. Shoutout again to @lighteye who could achieve a great 5th place! Congrats to All!
I had the highest opponent average of all players. I think Swiss tournaments hardly ever bring me luck :(

Players can switch between the tournament tiers in case their rating changes!
If you want, please let me know your country! Many thanks!
In tournament 1 @darruiz could take rank no.2 from @rodrook who seems a bit out of shape recently, in no.2 @masterswatch could gain 3 places (but has still quite a task to reach a top position) and in tournament 3 @rosmarly lost rank 2 to @dhilan04!
See you all next week - and keep practicing!
