Hello Chess players on Hive,

Yesterday , we played the seventh round of the weekly Saturday HiveChess Tournament. We had a total of 23 players who clicked to join the event and about 22 players who actually played a game. We still had a lot of players who were missing in action this weekend even with the improved participants.

It was an easy tournament for IM @maestroask as he emerged champion again this week with a near perfect win rate. We had two different players finish 2nd and 3rd this time. We had @southgamer at second and @jaki01 finishing 3rd.

We want to welcome @kobold-djawa who is new to Hivechess (I missed the username last time)
