Dear chess fans,
it is half time in S18, yesterday round 5 was played. For the rules please refer to the announcement post. 21 players with an average rating of 1741 (highest so far this season!) had joined. Welcome back @yazp and welcome @castm2 to Hivechess!
Despite the time control of 3+1 people berserked like crazy which led to quite some upsets! It was a very close fight for the top between @samostically, @dhilan04 and @lucianosky (Pavarotty), at the the end @samostically could prevail, 1 point ahead of @dhilan04 and 4 ahead of @lucianosky. Surprise of the day was @rodrook with one of his best results ever!
Congratulations to All!

Players can switch between the tournament tiers in case their rating changes!
In tournament 1 @vasigo could achieve the lead position, just 1 point ahead of @ram9612!
In the most competitive tournament 2 @stranger27 could extend his lead, while @masterswatch made a jump to the second place and in tournament 3 I could climb to the top as @rosmarly missed out this round.
Of note, two players, @fiona777 and @dhilan04 will be regrouped to another tier, if they keep their current rating!
See you all next week - and keep practicing!
Thanks @stayoutoftherz for the welcome, I hope to continue enjoying these hard-fought games.
My performance can’t be 1815… Could be 1518, though 😄
@lighteye, that 2078 performance didn't go unnoticed. I just failed to mention it:). The highest rating in tournament #2; However you need to get better pairing...
Thank you for comforting words, @rodrook, you were brilliant in the last round.
I don’t mind pairing with strong players. The thing that stresses me most are my stupid blunders :)
No, it is indeed correct, 1769+1735+2078+1678, the chess960 doesn´t count.
BTW, classification in four tournaments was very good idea, @stayoutoftherz. People will have more motive to play :)
Thanks @stayoutoftherz, I think the four tournament levels are better this time...
Heavy strategy... I would definitely get lost in this competition 😂😂😂 wow super close super narrow... Congratulations to everyone of the competitors
Many many congratulations to the winner.
Congratulations!
