Dear chessfans!
Yesterday our blockchain chess team achieved itĀ“s FIRST WIN in the "Lichess Liga Team Battle - Reloaded". We played in liga 5A, it was a tournament with 10 teams and 105 players with an average rating of 2058. Individual winner was a guy with 2735 ratingš®. Nevertheless we as team ended up as first, with quite a lead! It was possible since we were supported by several new team members, all onboarded by @samostically: IM @stuffings, IM @tenny-trigah (check out his excellent intro post), @chessdev17 (queen5layer), @mendelito (TheMadman4rmDaSouth), @zlater, @poseout87 (ManFromSpain), @africanchess (othims) and @tangibleay (he also wrote already an intro post). Welcome all on Hive!
Thanks also to @samostically, @fcastro177, @justola1, @stranger27, @rosmarly, @rodrook, @rafaelaquino, @fiona777, @sahi1 and @duskobgd for playing and keeping our opponents busy! This time we were 19 players - a new record for our team!

- Every Thursday and Sunday are tournaments that last 1h40min (but you donĀ“t need to stay for the full time)
- The results of the 8 best contributors of each team (i.e. the "scorers") are counted in this liga
