Dear chess fans,
yesterday the 4th round of season 15 was played. It was a 5+0 arena with record-breaking 34 players. Welcome to 
Hive account@mundocuriosidad (M_schumacherf1) and 
Hive account@engilhramn who joined for the first time and welcome back 
Hive account@jaki01, 
Hive account@sammy00 (migmag), 
Hive account@maciejficek (XM9000) and 
Hive account@iamchessguy!
This time 
Hive account@maestroask had his revenge and won the tournament seemingly effortless with 7 points lead. Second was 
Hive account@sawko and third 
Hive account@eniolw who like the winner had a 100% win rate (but had less berserkings). Ex aequo in points with Hive account@eniolw was 
Hive account@samostically as fourth. Congratulations to all!

The rules you can look up in the S15 announcement post.
After 4 rounds Hive account@maestroask has already a lead of 10 points. Hive account@vjap55 could overtake Hive account@dhilan04 and is now on rank 3.
But who were the lucky winners of the 5x100 GLX which I give away thanks to the third Forkday of Hive?
They are Hive account@maciejficek Hive account@gabotask Hive account@grafo07 Hive account@agreste and Hive account@eniolw - Congratulations!
You got them sent to your Hive-Engine wallets.
You can swap them to Hive or transfer them to your Genesis League Goals account (login via keychain first) and stake them (147% APR still).
See you all next week - and keep practicing!
Just when I wanted to publish the post I saw that Hive account@mundocuriosidad (M_schumacherf1) was flagged by Lichess, for "violating the Terms of Service". We don´t see this very often. 
Hive account@cryptoniusraptor, for info as he is also in the PizzaChess team. His Lichess account was not closed, so for now I keep him in the rankings, maybe there is a good explanation for it, or a misunderstanding. Maybe, Hive account@mundocuriosidad, you want to add anything from your side?
