Dear Chessfriends,
in the fourth round of the Christmas season we were 11 players in a quite strong field (average rating 1858) and @sawko (sawkito) was the winner again. Second was this time @jaki01 who, like the winner, won all his games except just one. Third was @yazp (zulukill), followed by @zacherybinx (sirtetris). I could again get only the 5th rank. The remaining tournament points went to @rodrook (first points in season 4, finally), @rafaelaquino (ajedrezclub2t) and @vjap55 (who had to leave after 3 games). @schamangerbert (HerbyW) missed a huge opportunity to get points today since he joined late.

The games of this round can be found here, in case you want to replay some of them.
Season 4 "Christmas": 27 Nov to 27 Dec 2020 / Ranking after 4 rounds:

The rules you can look up in the announcement post.
Today @vjap55 lost some ground and was overtaken by @zacherybinx (sirtetris) who is now 4th. @jaki01 gained one point towards the third rank, just missing 3 points. Remember, only 3 rounds more to go in this season, so a miss in one round can change a lot!
See you next week and keep practicing!

I'm getting worse every season. My personality is rather "Jack of all trades" than "One Trick Pony". Everytime in my life I start doing something regularly, I start to dislike it because I become kinda stressed, I feel like bounded to it. When I started math studies, they made me dislike mathematics at the start (now I like it again but i needed a lot of time). Unfortunately, XXI century is the century of experts in small domain, not people who are medium at everything in life but who do not specialise at one. I don't know how I can heal that part of my soul.

Hey @stayoutoftherz,
Sorry to jump in a bit off-topic.
I am very grateful that you currently support the HiveBuzz proposal, but it will expire in a few days.
Do you mind to cast your vote for the renewal proposal we made for 2021 so we can continue with our work?
Thank you. Wish you a happy Xmas 🎅
