Dear Chess fans,
the second round of Season 8 was a 4+1 Blitz arena with 20 players again! This time the average rating (1927) was even higher than last time! We could welcome a record-breaking number of 5 completely new players: @pamboy27, @agreste, @ebingo, @b0s (Da_k1ng) and Mr_Mendel (no Hive username), some came over from the "Liga CB" run by @chessbrotherspro. And @vjap55 finally showed up again! In fact he was even streaming the tournament! Please check out his stream here!
And also @samostically streamed the event here on 3speak!
@sawko could again win this round, with quite a gap to the runner up, @jaki01 who was in better form today than last time. Closely behind him, a group of 3 had the same points: @kreur, @samostically and @pamboy27. Congrats to All! @tungphong (blackswan21), the current leader of the Liga CB, ended "only" on the sixth spot.
I could gain only the 10th rank, my worst result ever in Hivechess, but we never had such a set of strong players, so I guess I have to get used to these results. And blundering a queen like in my game against @lighteye should also be avoided next time.
The games of this round can be found here, in case you want to replay some of them.

The rules you can look up in the announcement post.
No big changes on the top of the rankings, @sawko could extend his lead, @kreur and @jaki01 could improve their positions a little bit and @pamboy27 with his good first result jumped immediately to the 7th spot! 3 more rounds to go in this season, so all is still possible.
See you alle next week!
Well, I played quicker and 'dirtier' this time, lol. :-)
(Whereby "quicker" for my standards means still "snail like" for someone like @sawkito.)
@stayoutoftherz, sorry to hear you are blundering queen now! My advice don’t watch any of my games :).
Wonderful Report! And I'm glad you added my stream link.
It was tough and interesting event.I also like the way you Arranged the rankings.
I didn't move in standings hopefully next time I will.
It’s a truly rare occasion, @stayoutoftherz, usually I am the one who’s doing blunders 😃
BTW, you could start putting an average tournament rating in your posts. The last two tournaments were very strong:
Hivechess Tournament Round 1 – Average tournament ELO 1919
Hivechess Tournament Round 2 – Average tournament ELO 1927
Great tournament I'll try to get better next time haha congratulations to the whole players
Speaking and playing slowed you down!
Great tournament! I hope I can be in the next round.
Was really nice participating. I won a few games and it felt good.
Respect to those who streamed the games 🤘🏽🤘🏽 you guys rock
It gets harder and harder to get points.
So true!
Excellent tournament! Congrats to the winner! I didn't play because there was a power cut again (what a surprise :S)
That's cool. I can't do streamings, but I can do game analysis videos. I've done that a few times.
Ngl It was a really tough contest. You guys are literally chess heavyweights, I'm surprised I was able to win a few. Thanks for hosting this tournament. Hopefully I'll be better next round
