Dear Chessfriends,
this time we were 7 players and @jaki01 plays obviously in another league. In the first round I could beat him surprisingly, but since then he didn´t give away a sinlge point anymore, despite berserking almost all his games (berserk rate 89%!).
This time I had more luck and I hadn´t to play @jaki01 that often, so I could gather the second place, followed by drak0nb (@pereu4ivatel) who improved a lot since last time. 4th place went to HerbyW (@schamangerbert), I had two games with him, one was lost for him, the other lost for me, despite both were draws (one "surprise" stalemate, the other a lucky perpetual check). The other places were taken by Lord2920 (@arsenal49), doc-holliday and @rodrook who had a tough round this time.
The games of this round can be found here, if you want to replay some.

Doc-holliday is not ranked until I have a Hive name of him.
@jaki01 already is a strong candidate for a winner of this season. The other places are of course still completely open yet. Continuity over the next rounds will count at the end.
Rules and payout you can look up in the announcement and reminder posts.
What about the idea to from time to time play a 90min 10+0 tournament, so more time to think (and make blunders as well)? Other ideas?
Next time probably 3+2. See you there and keep practising!
Nice tournament report!
By the way, there is a Discord server for our chess community now. (I posted with the wrong account before.)
@jaki01 you absolutely destroyed me. Felt almost like I was being abused.
I wanted to play but my parents went to sleep at 19 GMT xD . so I did not want to interrupt their sleep by my activity.
No problem, maybe next time.
