Hivechess Tournament Season 12 started: @sawko takes the lead!

avatar

Dear chess fans,

the first round of Season 12 started yesterday with a 3+1 Blitz arena. 26 players had participated with an average rating of 1871, for 3 of them I still don´t have a Hive username: jose014 (@jose014?), Henry_lloyd007 and stronglychuks. Please let me know your Hive username, otherwise I can´t consider you in the final rankings.

Our fivefold champion @sawko ended up as winner, with 8 points lead over runner-up @eniolw and HCT-winner @vjap55 as third. Congratulations!

Since I am not 100% healthy, I was quite happy with my 9th place. My personal highlight was a win against @vjap55.
In the game (where I had White) I had sacrificed (actually blundered) several pawns, but got a decent attack with a nice "fully operational" bishop pair. In this position there was only one move to achieve a winning position. Can you spot it?

On another note, currently the Norway Chess 2022 tournament is going one, featuring a round robin tournament witha a strong field of 10 players including Magnus Carlsen. After 4 rounds somewhat surprisingly former world champion Viswanathan Anand is leading, followed by Carlsen and Wesley So (who won the Blitz tournament and is in great form too). Tomorrow the match Carlsen - Anand will be played. Looking forward to that!

"NxN" do you mean castles? Not exactly.

Nd4 x Ne6 uncover the white bishop attack on the black queen.
Black can delay checkmate with Qf7. Then white Ne6 - Ng7.

Puzzle & End games have been the weak part of my game :).
the old descriptive notation is still stuck in my mind :).
