Dear Chess fans,
in the fifth round of S7 we were only 13 players (15, but 2 players didn´t have at least 2 games played and were not counted) including some late joiners, but the average rating was 1915 - the by far highest in this season.
Again @sawko was the winner, this time even with a perfect 100% score despite most of his games on berserk. I could land as second (my best result since a long time), a little helped by the pairing and three times my opponents missed to move within 20 seconds. On the third rank then @jaki01, followed by @eniolw who joined too late to have a say in the Top 3.
The games of this round can be found here, in case you want to replay some of them.

After 5 rounds the lead of @jaki01 is shrinking again a little bit, but 7 points seem unreachable for me.
@sawko with his second victory in a row could jump to the third place (ex aequo in points with @eniolw), but with only 2 rounds remaining the gap to the leading @jaki01 is too high.
The rules you can look up in the announcement post.
See you next week and as always - keep practicing!
