Dear chessfans!
Yesterday our blockchain chess team played in liga 4 and we managed to win and rise for the first time to liga 3!! Unbelievably strong team performance! 186 players from 10 teams, of an average rating of 1951 had played. A very competitive tournament with even a GM playing! The topscorer from our team was again @poseout87 (ManFromSpain), followed by IM @stuffings and @chessdev17 (queen5layer)! Many thanks also to @kintokris (jonbellionfan), @mendelito (TheMadman4rmDaSouth), @salaks.chess (nevagivup), @tangibleay, @justola1, IM @tenny-trigah, @maverieux000 (Keylix), @madchess64 (new! Welcome!), @rosmarly, @masterswatch, @fcastro177, @sammy00 (migmag), @rodrook, @justfavour and @sahi1 for participating and making this epic victory possible!
I had played terribly that day, was even mated by a 1700 player. Somewhat it was a bit fishy, would you have found this mate in 4 from Black? Very annoying.

Here are the final standings:

The 8 topscorers again earned one Hive that was already sent to their wallets! In total 48 Hive were already distributed from the 6 rounds played so far! Additionally, @samostically sponsored 5 Hive each to the 2 top ranked from our team! And all who have none yet will be given bonus points for S21 (if played at least 5 games)!
All our results so far:

- The results of the 8 best contributors of each team (i.e. the "scorers") are counted in this liga
