Dear Chessfriends,
the third season of Hivechess tournaments started with 14 players and an average rating of 1804 (quite high, in S2 we had on average 1760). Unfortunately some of the strong players either came late or left early (or had connection problems). I hope this improves in the next rounds.
Not such a surprise that @jaki01 was the winner again. He won all his games, with a strong performance of 2331! Despite I played quite awful I could get the second rank. I had a very strange pairing and got only few times strong players, resulting in an average opponents rating of only 1654, app. 200 points less than the other Top 5 players had today. I hope I haven´t now used up all my luck.
Third was @yazp (zulukill) and fourth was @pereu4ivatel (drakOnb), both played very solid!
And also the fifth ranked, @uliseshb - new to HIvechess - played very well. Hopefully we will see him more often here!
The remaining tournament points went to @rodrook (6th), @evgsk (evgchess) (7th) and @rafaelaquino (ajedrezclub2t) (8th).
The games of this round can be found here, in case you want to replay some of them.
