Hivechess Tournament Round 10: @vjap55 is the new winner!

Dear Chessfans,

in the 10^th round of Hivechess season 5 we were only 12 players (13, but Hive account@kreur came too late to complete a single game). It was a very close match this time. The first three players had the same points, but Hive account@vjap55 could succeed at the end with a phenomenal performance of 2431 and by this he won his first Hivechess tournament - Congratulations! Hive account@jaki01 was second and Hive account@sawko was left with the third rank "only", actually his worst result ever on Hivechess. On the other hand, if he would not have gifted both Hive account@vjap55 and Hive account@jaki01 2 points each at the start, the result would probably be different.

The games of this round can be found here, in case you want to replay some of them.

The rules you can look up in the announcement post.

Next week will be already the final showdown of season 5 "Spring", although so far the name was hardly justified, at least here in middle Europe.
It will be a 2h marathon of Rapid games (10+0). More time to think and more opportunities to blunder! Only the strong will survive!

See you hopefully all next week and keep practicing!
