Dear Chess fans,
the 6th round of Season 9 was a 3+1 arena with an average rating of 1903, slightly above the average of this season (1891). 28 players participated and the berserk rate was also 28%, despite the time mode. This gave also some chances to less strong players. At least in my case I could profit from some opponents having berserked me.
Hive account@tungphong (blackswan21) ended up as first, for the third time in a row! Second was 
Hive account@pamboy27, followed by 
Hive account@deadleaf (realdeadleaf) who newly joined Hivechess and already got a strong third place in his first tournament! Congratulations to All!
Also a shoutout to 
Hive account@vasigo for his 13th place - the by far best result in Hivechess for him!
Here the result table of R6:

This time 
Hive account@samostically and 
Hive account@giacomone (KingJames4) streamed the event (here and here).

The rules you can look up in the announcement post.
Not much changes in the top ranks. Just due to his great performance today, Hive account@pamboy27 could overtake Hive account@samostically and is now third, only 2 points behind Hive account@jaki01!
See you all next week!
By the way round 6, what an epic 8h and 136 move game the 6th Chess Worldchampionship game was!
Here is a video where it is analyzed (to some extent at least):
What do you think, can Nepo recover from this hit?
