Dear chess fans,
yesterday the third round of season 18 was played as a 4+1 Chess960 arena. For the rules please refer to the announcement post. 21 players were brave enough to participate. Welcome, @reiseamateur to Hivechess and welcome back @pravesh0, @giuatt07 and @samostically!
It was a battle between a very strong @rosmarly and @lucianosky (Pavarotty), but at the end @lucianosky could succeed and win the tournament. Interestingly the 2 never had to play against each other. I ended up as third (despite a tough pairing), very closely ahead of @eniolw.
A shoutout also to @ram9612 and @vasigo for making it into the top 10!
Congratulations to All!

Of note, several players had started the season already with 1 or 2 bonus points, dependent if they had played in the last 2 fun tournaments!
Players can switch between the tournament tiers in case their rating changes!
No change in the leading position this week but in the highly competitive tournament 2 @stranger27 could make a huge jump and is now second.
See you all next week - and keep practicing!
Do you want to have more often Chess960 rounds or rather not?

Thank you for the fun!)
You played very well!!
Hi to all and GG to everyone !!!
I don't know if i'll be very present this season, but I'll try to play some games every once and a while.
Thank you for the organization. We had a great time at this tournament. See you next Friday
Hatte sehr viel Spaß!! Obwohl ich seit 17 Jahren kein Schach gespielt hatte!!
2 große Umstellungen waren für mich :
nur Bild statt Figuren und dass bei jedem Spiel die Aufstellung anders neu waren,
damit meine ich dass nicht die Original Aufstellung war.
Hab mich aber schnell darin reingefunden, 3 mal war die Zeit der Faktor dass ich verlor,
aber bei 10 Partien zumindest eine Gewonnen freut mich umsomehr!!
Also wenn dass die Chess960 war, hätte ich nichts dagegen wieder mal so eine Partie mitzumachen!!
Jedenfalls werde ich das Schach am Montag bei @kvinna erwähnen!!!
