Hivechess Tournament Season 14 Round 5: @maestroask is unstoppable

Dear chess fans,

welcome All in 2023!

This Friday the final Hivechess tournament in 2022 was played. In the fivth round of S14 we had a 3+0 ("Superblitz") Swiss tournament going over 9 rounds. Only 17 players had participated, 4 more players (emprendemesta, justfavour, Olu-jay and saringa) did not register and weren´t counted! In total 32 players had registered for S14, but only half of them showing up in the penultimate round before the knockout stage is not a good sign. Is is the declining Hive price that lowers the interest or the registration fee that puts off people? Or the fact that @maestroask in anyway "always winning" and therefore there is no real excitement anymore? I don´t know.

This round @maestroask (Odnoobraz_bcm) was dominating and could pocket his fourth win this season with a score of 9 out of 9, 2 points ahead of the runner-up, @emic. @lucianosky (Pavarotty) was third and @fcastro177 fourth. Congratulations to All!

In this position of @maestroask (White) against @emic Black made in his last move with Nc7?? a fatal blunder. How could White punish it?

After Nxg7 Blacks position will crumble soon because the White Bishop can´t be taken! In the game Black responded with Rxe7 nevertheless - and was mated instantly with Rd8#

The rules you can look up in the S14 announcement post.

See you all next week for the last general round where ultimately it will be decided who will proceed to the knockout stage!

Also a quick reminder about that special price for the best tournament report, 5 Hive plus 50 LEO. So far I have not seen something qualifying for this price.

On another note, Magnus Carlsen won both the FIDE World Rapid and Blitz Championships 2022 in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Very impressive!

He is therefore currently the Triple World Champion (Classic, Rapid and Blitz), at least until May!
