Dear Chessfriends, no matter if from Hive, Steem or Blurt!
In case you were not aware, on Lichess we play every Friday a Blitzchess Tournament! There are already >200 Hive in the price pool! It is not too late to join.
In the yesterday´s superblitz round (3+0) we were 13 players, including 4 new ones! Again there was no one who could challenge @jaki01, but @yazp (zulukill) played very well again and for some time he was actually in a leading position. But at the end @jaki01 succeeded with a remarkable win rate of 93%. Congratulations - and don´t tell us that you are getting old and slow!!
Third rank, after a gap of 6 points, went to @rafaelaquino (ajedrezclub2t) who played much better than the last times, followed by myself. In the direct match between us I totally messed up the opening and was already after move 9 in a lost position. The 5th rank went to the new player @franciscomarval (lestatblack).
The remaining tournament points were taken by @rodrook (6th), @schamangerbert (HerbyW) (7th) who finally came back to the tour and @pereu4ivatel (drakOnb) (8th). The unlucky ninth spot went to newcomer @ambarvegas (Milagritsos). Maybe next time you can get a tournament point!
The games of this round can be found here, in case you want to replay some of them.

from m8loss and jonbellionfan I don´t have a Hive name and thus they are not counted yet
The rules you can look up in the announcement post.
No changes in the top ranks, @jaki01 has gained a comfortable lead of 10 points to the field, he could miss already a round with no effect! @yazp (zulukill) could improve his second place with additional 2 points and @pereu4ivatel (drakOnb) could close up to the fourth place. However the distance to the Top 3 has increased to 13 points! Also @rafaelaquino (ajedrezclub2t) and @rodrook could improve their ranking by 3 places each.
See you next week and keep practicing!
