Hivechess Tournament Round 4: @sawko was unstoppable!

Dear Chess fans,

the fourth round of mini season 8 was a 3+1 arena tournament with 20 players and an average rating of 1965 - again a record! Hive account@tony1294 unfortunately had connection problems which prevented him from playing at all, also Hive account@pereu4ivatel couldn´t play at least 3 games and thus was not counted, and Hive account@eniolw seemed to have also problems. In the middle of the tournament Lichess announced it would restart, so some games were apparently interrupted, I was lucky and had no loss due to this but some had. Very unfortunate.

This time Hive account@sawko showed us impressively why he is leading the season so far! He especially likes the arena mode (where berserking is allowed), it is the 7th victory in this mode in a row on Fridays! 6 points behind was the second, Hive account@kintokris (jonbellionfan) with his best result so far! Hive account@tungphong (blackswan21) ended up as third. Congrats to All!
New this season were Hive account@rosmarly with a 7^th place and Hive account@petreius with rank 11 - welcome (back)!

The games of this round can be found here, in case you want to replay some of them. Hive account@samostically streamed the tournament.

The rules you can look up in the announcement post.

Hive account@sawko could extend his lead today and is now 4 points ahead of the runner up Hive account@tungphong (blackswan21). Will it be enough to get the title back from Hive account@jaki01? We will find out next Friday at the final round!

Until then, keep practicing!
