Hivechess Tournament S20 Round 7: @kintokris almost did it!

Dear chess fans,

yesterday the 7^th round of S20 was played. For the rules please refer to the announcement post. It was a 4+2 blitz arena with 24 players of an average rating of 1660.

This time Hive account@kintokris by a hair's breadth could overthrone our IM and serial winner. He ended up as runner-up with the same points as Hive account@maestroask! The third place went to Hive account@franu, slightly ahead of Hive account@dhilan04 and Hive account@rosmarly. Hive account@masterswatch and Hive account@sammy00 made it into the top10 as well and were placed in front of me, but also had much easier pairings. Anyway, congrats to All!
