Hivechess Tournament Season 22 Round 4: @eniolw and @lailawrites were the winners!
Dear chess fans,
last Friday round 4 of S22 was played (you can read here all about the rules). This report comes late, as I was travelling in the last days.
In total only 14 players had played, also because I made a mistake in the timing of the event. Due to the different time zones at the end the tournaments started one hour too early and my reminder came too late. I apologize for this, it won´t happen again! The other thing I didn´t consider was that the rating restriction of 1800 is different with Chess960/Fischer Random (where the Lichess ratings are app. 200 points lower), so that @southgamer and @rosmarly played in the Challengers, not in the Masters (but their points earned in this round count nonetheless).
By the way, welcome back, @eniolw!
Again the Challengers tournament was full of drama and very close. This time @lailawrites (Ohieku) was the winner, ex aequo in points with runner-up @justola1. This makes a fourth winner in the fourth round. On ranks 3 and 4 came @southgamer and @sammy00 with just one point behind! Congratulations to All!

In the Masters again there were only 4 players with enough games to be counted. Plus 2 that played in the "wrong" tournament, but in fact gained more points there.
@eniolw was the winner, with a comfortable lead over runner-up @jaki01. Behind him on the podium was @fcastro177 and I got (I think for the first time) the very last place (without a mouse I was hopelessly slow)!

Great tournament update, never mind the time zone mistake, it will be fixed next time. Many congratulations to the winners of the Masters and Challengers Leagues. I had a little laugh reading about your experience playing without a mouse, next time be ready with a mouse, good luck.
Congrats @lailawrites and @eniolw
Time zones are no joke hehe
I said okay there is one more hour left and then when I clicked lichess notification tournament was ongoing
