Hello Chess players on Hive,

Yesterday , we played the Ninth round of the weekly Saturday HiveChess Tournament. We had a total of 25 players join this event and everyone that joined played at least one game. Happy to see Hive account@stayoutoftherz return as he played just four games. Missing out in action was IM Hive account@maestroask who missed his first hive chess tournament since inception. I’m pretty sure he wasn’t missed as it gave room for a new champion.

Congratulations to Hive account@tangibleay for winning the tournament. His first Hive chess tournament win! He played a number good games. His consistency today and streaks earned his first place. Hive account@dalods could only finished 2nd and a late rally by Hive account@poseout87 left him in 3rd place. I managed 8th place this week, I'd try and play more games next week or challenge for top spots.
