In order to avoid playing the opening theory, you need to study A LOT of opening theory.

Introduction

The weekend Hive chess continued today with the thematic tournament hosted by @schamangerbert

You can read about the special Chess events here

Today's tournament was a closed Sicilian defence, another variation of the Sicilian which is very complicated unlike the regular open Sicilian lines. The tournament was played by 20players and was really fun.

Congratulations to the winners


It was a tough one today, as it looked very early that @jaki01 was going to run away with the 1st position after winning his first 7 games but after a draw to @stayoutoftherz who found a perpetual check in a fairly equal position, @eniolw was suddenly up in contention after also starting with a perfect run too. Both players were unbeaten in the tournament but @eniolw prowess with beserk button edged him over the former as he ended 1st place and @jaki01 had to settle for 2nd. @ burnoutsomehive ended 3rd place after a nice run too. Overall it was an interesting theme tournament.

One thing to note is black had more wins than white today!

My performance

Just like yesterday, I feel satisfied with my performance, although there some unconvincing draws I should have converted but overall it was interesting and 5th position again is okay for me. I also have a game I enjoyed today too, this one is against my good friend @tungphong who I finally won in a nice ending.

Check it out.

In your game against @eniolw there was a nice win even near the end. The idea is to bring your bishop to a2 in this moment when the black king is on f8. for example:

  1. Bd3 b2 64. Be4 Kg8 65. Bb1 Kf8 66. Ba2! and white wins. :)

Great. I was counting on him not finding it. I didn't push the pawn to b2 hoping he would discover it was necessary to force it.

I knew there was something,I just didn't know what it was 😑. Thank you @jaki01. I know it will happen again in chess.

Keep up this good chess content, @samostically. It is not necessary to resort to those practices for which you were almost blacklisted from Hive a few days ago. Forgive my frankness, we chess players are a family and if something happens to one of us, it can affect our community. I wish you the best.

@samostically: Be happy that you not got into the spamlist. Try to make your own content and ignore the quick money scams. Chess is good for one post every day, with own ideas and thoughts, and it helps us all. Your stream is of very high quality and it would be very bad if we loose you.
