Lichess Team Liga: We advanced, by a hair´s breath! Next round tomorrow!

Dear chessfans!

last Sunday our Hive-Blockchain chess team went through its third battle of the "Lichess Liga Team Battle" (more about this event here). After 2 wins in a row, it was this time a bumpy ride to the third place which secured our promotion to the next level!

We played in Liga 10B, with 59 players present from 9 teams, and this time we never saw the first place, but were most of the time between 4^th and 5^th. I was thanks to the great weather all day out on a field trip and came almost too late to join - and played quite terrible, with 1 win and 5 losses after 6 games. Only in the second half I had more luck and blundered less, and in the last minutes we finished only with 3 points lead at rank 3 - enough to make it to liga 9 tomorrow. Since we were only third, we will go to liga 9A. I don´t know but it feels like it will be even more tough. So I hope tomorrow some strong players join our team!!

Here are the final standings:

Thanks a lot to ALL participants: Hive account@emic, Hive account@rosmarly, Hive account@lighteye, Hive account@hannes-stoffel, Hive account@agreste, Hive account@rodrook, Hive account@stranger27, Hive account@dhilan04 (tortyllan) and Hive account@sammy00 (migmag). To the 7 top-ranked ones I sent already as promised 1 Hive each!

The next event starts tomorrow Thursday, 25^th May, 18h GMT.

We will be in liga 9A (ranked up from last time). The more from our team participate, the higher our chances will be to get a good result and improve in the rankings. E.g. if we end up in the top 3, we will be in liga 8 next time! If we make it to rank 8 only, we will be back to liga 10.

How far can we get?

The rules:

• Everybody in our Lichess team can join using the link to the tournament (pick our team if asked 😃, in case you are part of multiple teams)
• A win collects 2 points for our team, a draw 1
• Only the results of the 7 best contributors of each team are counted in this liga (but all skill levels are important, because each win means potentially less points for the other teams!)
• Every Thursday and Sunday are tournaments
• The links to the upcoming tournaments are - dependent on our result - already provided in the description of the tournament itself and also on our team page.

Mode: 3+0 (3 minutes per game, no increment per move), 100 min. rated arena, win streaks & berserk allowed
