Today, I played in the Hive Chess tournament, Round 7. I missed last week's tournament, which was quite painful, and I vowed to make sure I participated in today's game. I received a reminder about the tournament and immediately set an alarm. About an hour before the tournament started, I had already started practicing. War for war! Aura for aura! Today's tournament wasn't bad at all, of course, there were some blunders, but I managed to play well. @justola1 was probably busy with school and unable to join the tournament. It's been a while since I've played with @masterswatch and @lighteye. I hope to see you guys in the next tournament. Without further ado, I'll be reviewing some of my interesting games, as well as those of others.
Justfavour VS FCastro17
https://lichess1.org/game/export/gif/3CbpX5R0.gif
I won my first game against a lower-rated player. Next, I got paired with Odnoob. I knew I was going to lose, so I just gave up and played whatever I liked before the game even started fully. My third game was against FCastro, a higher-rated player. My opponent berserked me, which means I had more time to think carefully. Maybe things would have taken a different outcome if he had not. Well, I played beautifully well and won the game.

Justfavour VS Stranger27
https://lichess1.org/game/export/gif/BvrvyFDG.gif
Stranger 27 is one player I find sneakily dangerous. Although my rating is higher than his and my bullet rating is much higher, I notice that every time I play against him, he delivers forks and scary checkmates, so I was sure not to even think about berserking him. Our endgame was somewhat interesting. He had 3 pawns, a white bishop and his king while I had three pawns, a knight and my king. The only advantage he had over me was that two of my pawns were lined up in the same row. Eventually, the game ended in a draw.

ManFromSpain VS iamchessguy01
https://lichess1.org/game/export/gif/mshTHyVD.gif
ManFromSpain joined the tournament pretty late, but you know what they say, it's better late than never. Although he joined late, he still managed to finish with 18 points. His game against iamchessguy01 is filled with twists and turns. One moment, one person is winning and the next, the narrative changes. Interesting game!
