Lichess Liga Team Battle - a successful begin! Next round this Thursday!

Dear chessfans!

Last Sunday our Hive-fueled blockchain chess team kicked off it´s participation in the "Lichess Liga Team Battle - Reloaded", read more about the event in the announcement post.

This time we have not started in Liga 12, like in 2023 where we could easily win, no, we were thrown before the lions, in the strong liga 5A!
It was a team battle with 116 players from 10 teams, with an average rating of 1923! Being even third for a while, at the end we were able to make the solid 5^th rank and therefore stay in liga 5! Frankly I was quite sure we would be relegated to liga 6 (we never could make it to liga 5 in 2023), and the opponents were indeed really tough, but thanks to the combined team efforts we made it - and big thanks to Hive account@jaki01 who alone scored 43 points and was in a real beast mode!

Thanks Hive account@jaki01, Hive account@samostically, Hive account@justola1, Hive account@justfavour, Hive account@sammy00, Hive account@rodrook, Hive account@lighteye, Hive account@rafaelaquino, Hive account@giuatt07, Hive account@fiona777, Hive account@stranger27, Hive account@duskobgd and Hive account@sahi1 for joining and fighting! The 8 topscorers in the list below earned one Hive that will be sent at the end of this week! All will be given bonus points for S21!
