Hivechess Tournament Season 21 Round 10: @dhilan04 was unstoppable!
Dear chess fans,
yesterday round 10 of S21 was played, this time it was a 3+2 Chess960 (Fischer random) arena. For the rules please refer to the announcement post. 21 players had joined, welcome back @rodrook, and welcome to Hivechess, @ismeris!
@dhilan04 was in great shape (a pity he is not showing up more often) and berserked his way to victory with a 4 point lead. Runner-up was @fcastro177 and behind him I landed on the third spot (what does not happen too often), helped by a somewhat luckier pairing that usual. On rank 4 and 5 were IM @maestroask and @tangibleay, followed by @sammy00. Congratulations to All!

In tournament 2 @sammy00 could overtake @justola1 and is now second!
In tournament 4 IM @maestroask could further extend his lead after @samostically played too few games to be counted.
