The 28th edition was completed with 21 players

After a bad opening, there is hope for the middle game. After a bad middle game, there is hope for the endgame. But once you are in the endgame, the moment of truth has arrived.

Die 28. Ausgabe wurde mit 21 Spielern absolviert

Nach einer schlechten Eröffnung gibt es Hoffnung auf das Mittelspiel. Nach einem schlechten Mittelspiel gibt es Hoffnung auf das Endspiel. Aber sobald du im Endspiel bist, ist der Moment der Wahrheit gekommen.

This round of Chess960 clearly goes to voiceoff85 (@voiceoff), who won superior with 16 points. Our regular winner SecularSagacity (@ape-5th) had to stand at the cheese counter while not taking a defeat, but could play only 4 games. I am especially happy about the good placings of evgchess (@evgsk) and ralk98 (@ralk98). In the comments we will vote on the format of the last round of this season, to which I will submit proposals. Here is the result:

Diese Runde mit Schach960 geht eindeutig an voiceoff85 (@voiceoff), der überlegen mit 16 Punkten gewinnen konnte. Unser normaler Dauergewinner SecularSagacity (@ape-5th) mußte an der Käsetheke stehend zwar keine Niederlage einstecken, konnte aber nur 4 Spiele mitspielen. Ganz besonders freue mich über die guten Platzierungen von evgchess (@evgsk) und ralk98 (@ralk98). In den Kommentaren werden wir über das Format der letzten Runde in dieser Saison abstimmen, dazu werde ich Vorschläge unterbreiten. Hier ist das Resultat:

For next week's edition I prefer bullet 2+1 since bullet hasn't been played before.
Yesterday chess 960 was fun, link of my post https://steemit.com/chess/@samostically/weekly-steem-blitz-chess960-edition-creekside-chess-league

Holly molly! thanks for the mention, it was very difficult that day, my head hurt because I was very concentrated lol, but it was definitely worth it,I got sixth in a variety of chess I don't play often and that's an achievement.
This tournament keeps me very motivated, now I'm playing more games and started playing some puzzle to improve my chess and I see small but good results.

Regarding the format for the next tournament, I would like Normal chess 2+1. I think the faster the more challenging!

Congrats @voiceoff on getting the first place, you are a good player! and also the other players who have improved their level.

And as always, great tournament. I will try to set some time aside this week to practice and play decent games next week :)

Thank you!

My favourite option is 'd'- chess960:5 minutes+2 seconds

Option e sounds like fun.

Option e: Chess960 3 +2 will be great!

Many thanks dear @schamangerbert for the tournament and the mention!
I'm also very pleasantly surprised by this result. Especially considering that I missed so many tournaments. It's so nice to try my hand again.
I think "b Normal Chess: 5 minutes +2 seconds" will be a good option for the last round.
My best wishes to all the participants!

Hello friend, I am delighted with your blog. You have everything a little, I like chess and I am interested in participating. I'm sure I'll find enough competition. I think it will be given to Normal Chess: 5 minutes +0 seconds. I hope I'm not wrong, greetings and blessings to me, my dear friend @schamangerbert.
