Dear chess fans,
yesterday round 8 of S18 was played. For the rules please refer to the announcement post. 18 players had participated. Not sure, what I can do to improve participation. The prizepool is already quite OK, isn´t it (465 Hive so far plus 500 LEO)? Maybe we start the next season only once the Hive price is at 1$? Any other ideas?
This time it was a very close fight between @lucianosky (Pavarotti) and @eniolw and at the end @lucianosky succeeded with the same points as the runner-up. The third place on the podium went to @rosmarly!
Congratulations to All!

Players can switch between the tournament tiers in case their rating changes!
2 rounds to go and hardly any changes. The current tournament leaders have all comfortable leads and seem not at risk, if they show up in the remaining rounds.
See you all next week - and keep practicing!
