Hivechess Tournament Season 21 Round 10: @dhilan04 was unstoppable!

Dear chess fans,

yesterday round 10 of S21 was played, this time it was a 3+2 Chess960 (Fischer random) arena. For the rules please refer to the announcement post. 21 players had joined, welcome back Hive account@rodrook, and welcome to Hivechess, Hive account@ismeris!

Hive account@dhilan04 was in great shape (a pity he is not showing up more often) and berserked his way to victory with a 4 point lead. Runner-up was Hive account@fcastro177 and behind him I landed on the third spot (what does not happen too often), helped by a somewhat luckier pairing that usual. On rank 4 and 5 were IM Hive account@maestroask and Hive account@tangibleay, followed by Hive account@sammy00. Congratulations to All!
