Dear chess fans,
in the seventh round of S10 a 3+2 arena was played with 26 players of an average rating of 1828. New on Hivechess´ Friday series was 
Hive account@lucianosky (Pavarotty) which is known from other tournaments like the CBL. Welcome!
You can watch here a stream about the event by 
Hive account@vjap55 and here one by 
Hive account@giacomone (KingJames4).
This time 
Hive account@eniolw was the winner with quite a lead. After having won 3 rounds in the last season, so far he had not been that lucky in S10 which shows the level of competition lately! Second was 
Hive account@tungphong (blackswan21), followed by our chess brothers sawko and Hive account@vjap55. Congratulations to All!
Of note, naturally the berserk rate of the top players in this time format was considerably lower than in the previous 5+0 round. Just 
Hive account@sawko berserked himself through the games, a strategy which didn´t seem to pay off entirely.

The rules you can look up in the S10 announcement post.
Despite not having won this round, Hive account@sawko could even extend his lead! Runner-up is now Hive account@eniolw due to his great result today. But Hive account@jaki01 following very closely with the same amount of points.
Other than that no big jumps in the ranking!
See you all next week - and keep practicing!
