As always congratulations to the winners!
@stayoutoftherz and @Foxconn_mars was far ahead of the crowd.
Evaluation
While I was simply outplayed in most games, I continue to give pieces away and lose winnable games in the last moments. I attribute some of my bad play to a lack of ability to focus. Its always fun but it could be more fun if I was winning more. Of course I will continue to play and I am sure my ability to focus is just around the next counter. However if you fail to see that a pawn can take your queen that not necessarily a lack of focus, It A Blind Spot.
I did make an observation this week, it appears that the pieces are place in the same position for both players. Also the variant 960 games does present more of a challenge to develop your pieces. I will now use the 20 seconds before the game to formulate a strategy to develop my pieces in these games. So more observation means more knowledge and with that I will claim a little improvement in the 960 game.
Plan for next week
I am not sure if lichess offer casual play for Blitz 960 variant but if it does I will simply get some practice. I have become much more comfortable with Blitz times and expect some immediately result there but it obvious to me I need lots of practice with bullet and 960 variant.
Game Stats
It was a slightly smaller field this time but it was still a strong field

Just keep playing and enjoying the competition.
