Dear chess fans,
in the 6th iteration of season 13 we had a fast-paced bullet tournament (2+1 arena) where 32 players were brave enough to join the madness on the boards. Finally also one of our previous champions, 
Hive account@jaki01 showed up in S13 but he had too few games to be counted.
The winner was 
Hive account@sawko, by a huge margin! Apparently in bullet mode he is even more a monster than in Blitz! Season leader 
Hive account@maestroask (Odnoobraz_bcm) was second, followed by 
Hive account@wildthougts as third. Congratulations to All!
No analyses today - the blunders speak for themselves 😁!
The biggest upset in round 6 was this victory of 
Hive account@andzhi (White) against Hive account@sawko (915 rating difference - a new record!) who apparently berserked against the wrong guy. Although in a lost position, Hive account@andzhi played superfast and could flag his opponent. 1 Hive and 5 LEO go to him!

No change in the ratings and average performance this time due to the different bullet chess scoring
The rules you can look up in the S13 announcement post.
Hive account@maestroask (Odnoobraz_bcm) is still first with a 9 point lead. Hive account@sawko could grab back the second spot. Since both Hive account@tony1294 and Hive account@eniolw were missing (had too few games), Hive account@samostically could make a big jump and is now third.
Biggest gainer was Hive account@tin.aung.soe (plus 12 ranks) who managed to score 10 points with her very first bullet tournament. Quite talented!
See you all next week - and keep practicing!
