Of note, several players had started the season already with 1 bonus point, dependent if they had played in the last fun tournament!
Players can switch between the tournament tiers in case their rating changes!
No big changes this time. In tournament 3 @dhilan04 could grab back rank no.1 from @rosmarly. In the other ones the leaders were able to extend their lead.
See you all next week - and keep practicing!
Today the legendary TATA steel chess tournament will start in the Netherlands!
These are the 14 players of the round robin event including reigning world champion Ding Liren with his first appearence since last May. Magnus Carlsen is for the second time in 20 years not participating. Also the US top players (Caruana, Nakamura, So) are missing. But still it will be a very strong tournament!
