Dear chess fans,

In the Masters 9 players had joined, with an average rating of 2182! Hive account@maestroask was the usual winner, although during the tournament Hive account@mikmai (Lavidacontinua123) was leading for the most time. In the final minutes he was overtaken and ended up with the second rank, in front of Hive account@southgamer who had a good day as well!
