Hivechess Tournament Season 20 Round 4: @samostically did it again!

Dear chess fans,

yesterday the 4^th round of S20 was played as a 4+0 Swiss tournament. For the rules please refer to the announcement post. Only 19 players were participating this time, so it was almost like a round robin tournament!

The winner was like in the last round Hive account@samostically with 8/9 points, the runner-up Hive account@maestroask with the same points, just a slightly lower Sonneborn-Berger score. Third was Hive account@dhilan04, already 1,5 points behind. Shoutout again to Hive account@lighteye who could achieve a great 5^th place! Congrats to All!

I had the highest opponent average of all players. I think Swiss tournaments hardly ever bring me luck :(

If you want, please let me know your country! Many thanks!

In tournament 1 Hive account@darruiz could take rank no.2 from Hive account@rodrook who seems a bit out of shape recently, in no.2 Hive account@masterswatch could gain 3 places (but has still quite a task to reach a top position) and in tournament 3 Hive account@rosmarly lost rank 2 to Hive account@dhilan04!

See you all next week - and keep practicing!
