Of note, several players had started the season already with 1 or 2 bonus points, dependent if they had played in the last 2 fun tournaments!
Players can switch between the tournament tiers in case their rating changes!
We have our first tournament leaders, @romeo9612, @b0s, @fcastro177 and @tony1294. But of note, if tournament 4 stays so small, it will be merged with tournament 3!
See you all next week - and keep practicing!
Are you following the Candidates Tournament 2024 in Toronto?
2 rounds left and 3 players are tied for first! Each single mistake can now decide who will be the next world champion challenger. The pressure must be immense!

Thank you, as always it was great fun! See u soon!
Thanks for streaming. Is there a way to see the streams later, like in Youtube?
I'm working on that, I need 50 subs....I'll try to get that sorted so I can stream on YT (next round) because otherwise everything is lost 🤣 and can't make highlight vids, I think that would be the most fun...like when I start to panic against a 2000 rated player and then draw or win 😛
You need 50 follower on switch and you have just one? That can take a while...😄
(Need YT subs) Haha I have 5 YT subs, need 45 more....there are ways if u know what I mean 🤑
Would be a good start if you actually share your YT link, so that people can follow :)
Hahaha you have point, (link is also in my splinterlands posts):

Of course it is very satisfying to be able to participate in playing chess. In the area where I live, chess is also available in stalls and I usually see young men who play chess appearing to sit and enjoy coffee.
hi @stayoutoftherz I also joined quite late and played some games :) Please do mark me as playing the round too, though i only got 0 for the effort before tournament ended :)
Sure, but please doublecheck the rules: "In order to be counted, at least 3 games must have been played."
You had played only 2 games.
oh my bad, sorry I had not read that. Not that I would have been able to play more as I joined too late :) Had dozed off :D Thank you for the clarification @stayoutoftherz
