Of note, several players had started the season already with 1 or 2 bonus points, dependent if they had played in the last 2 fun tournaments!
Players can switch between the tournament tiers in case their rating changes!
No change in the leading position this week but in the highly competitive tournament 2 
See you all next week - and keep practicing!
Do you want to have more often Chess960 rounds or rather not?
