Dear chess fans,
in the sixth round of S14 we had a 6+1 arena tournament with 17 players again. 2 more players (emprendemesta, ) did not register in time and weren´t counted!
In a weaker field (players like ,
,
or
were missing)
(Odnoobraz_bcm) had as expected a perfect score against his opponents who had an average rating score of 1831 (so 775 rating points difference!) and could gain an easy win.
was runner-up (I think her best result in Hivechess so far! Well done!), closely followed by
(Pavarotty), ex aequo in points. Behind them were
as fourth and
as fivth. Congratulations!

According to the rules, after this round it is decided who will be the Top8 proceeding to the knockout stage! For this I had to substract the worst result from each player ("strike" at the right border of the table) and - big surprise - the following 8 players are the ones:
as 7th and
as 8th could last minute overtake the much more favored
, thanks to the lower point reduction and due to more participations. Congratulations to both! The race for place 2 was extremly close, with
catching up in this round due to her excellent 2nd place, but just the slightly lower average performance prevented her from overtaking me.
Just as a reminder, those are the pairings in the upcoming quarterfinals, as described in the announcement post of S14:

For all others, these are the standings (with the strike results added back, they will count only after round 9 again). Just as a reminder, the winner (ranked 9 in the table) will get a seat in the quarterfinals of the next season!
