Dear chess fans,
yesterday already the 5th round of S20 was played! It was a 3+2 arena tournament. For the rules please refer to the announcement post. 27 Hivians were playing - a new record. Welcome back, @kreur and @uniforced!
This time @maestroask meant business! He won in great style, almost with 100% (only I could reach a draw against him, my very first one😄). Behind him were myself and @maverieux000 as 2nd and 3rd and other players very close together. @odic3o1 and @rafaelaquino made it into the top 8 while previous winners of this season (@samostically and @dhilan04) had a bad form today! Congrats to All!

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 @rodrook took back rank no.2 from @darruiz, in no.2 no changes in the top ranks, @lighteye still has a comfortable lead and - speaking of comfortable leads - @maestroask has already a 20 points lead in tournament 3. Behind him ranks 2-4 are fiercly battled and only divided by 1 point!
See you all next week - and keep practicing!
