Hivechess Tournament Season 20 Round 5: @maestroask was unstoppable!

Dear chess fans,

yesterday already the 5^th round of S20 was played! It was a 3+2 arena tournament. For the rules please refer to the announcement post. 27 Hivians were playing - a new record. Welcome back, Hive account@kreur and Hive account@uniforced!

This time Hive account@maestroask meant business! He won in great style, almost with 100% (only I could reach a draw against him, my very first one😄). Behind him were myself and Hive account@maverieux000 as 2^nd and 3^rd and other players very close together. Hive account@odic3o1 and Hive account@rafaelaquino made it into the top 8 while previous winners of this season (Hive account@samostically and Hive account@dhilan04) had a bad form today! Congrats to All!
