Hello everyone. Eight Chess960 Hivechess Tournament results are here. Did not manage to post earlier. Participation was not great so I assume middle of the week does not work out. Since Lichess Liga is done this Thrusday we can fix the Chess960 tournament for the last Sunday of the month. Sunday and a new time 20:00 CEST (18:00) may be more convenient.
Lets start with the tournament results.
Winner of 7th Chess960 Hivechess Tournament is @maestroask (Odnoobraz_bcm). With almost perfect score /@maestroask Hive account @maestroask second straight tournament win. And his third win total. Congratulations .
Second place goes to @hildemaro (hildemaro7). In his first appearance @hildemaro managed to get second place. Congratulations on second place.
Third place for @eniolw (eniolw). Only one loss and win against this rounds winner. Congratulations.
Biggest upset reward is a bit tricky this time.@hildemaro played his first game in Chess960 variant so his rating is still not set. So we will go with two biggest upsets for this round and both include @hildemaro. First reward goes to @rodrook (RDcast) for his win against @hildemaro (around 380 elo points difference @hildemaro rating at the end was 1782) Second reward for biggest upset goes to @hildemaro for his win against @eniolw (around 350 points difference - @hildemaro rating at the end was 1782)
Thats it for this round.@eniolw brought up that people paused in the middle of tournament. I assume since there was not many players people did not want to wait longer for the pairings. In my opinion with more players this should not be the case. Tnx for the feed back @eniolw
