Dear Chessfriends,
in round 3 we were only 5 players and won with a 100% win rate and a record lead.
This time I played really bad and way too passive with black. Again I had 2 games with HerbyW (), in the first I was completely lost, but could rescue miraculously a draw. The other one looked very drawish until it turned out that my bishop had the better fields. I also lost a game to
who was able to snatch my queen!
The games of this round can be found here, if you want to replay some.
Season 1: 03 April to 05 Jun 2020 / Standings after 3 Rounds
Doc-holliday is not ranked until I have a Hive name of him.
This time no change in the top places, just XM9000() could improve from rank #7 to #5 although he could not make a point. This shows that participation pays off!
Rules and payout you can look up in the announcement and reminder posts.
Anybody reading this post until here? What about the idea to from time to time play a 90min 10+0 tournament, so more time to think (and make blunders as well)? Other ideas?
Next time probably 5+0 again. See you there and keep practising!
