Dear chess fans,
yesterday the 10th round of season 19 was played. For the rules please refer to the announcement post.
It was a 3+1 Swiss tournament over 9 rounds with 19 players!
After his absence last week that costed him the lead, @dhilan04 returned and won in style with 8/9 points. Behind was a bunch of players with 7/9: @fcastro177, @yinjuolu (Yetundefemii) and @kintokris. Congratulations to All!
In this position from the game against @fcastro177, I (with Black) had just lost a piece after Nf6+ and Qxb7. But was it really a free piece? What is the best way to continue with Black here?
Black to move:
Solution
- Ne2+ Kh1
- Txh2+! Kxh2
- Qh8+ and mate in 1

Players can switch between the tournament tiers in case their rating changes!
In tournament 3 @rosmarly was missing this round, so @dhilan04 could grab back the top rank! The top 3 are only 5 points apart, everything is still possible with 2 rounds to go!
See you all next week - and keep practicing!

That was fun! I'm not a big fan of Swiss tournaments though, but it's nice to have a change between these and Arenas
Congratulations to the winners and many thanks to all participants for good gaming again! See you next time! Keep safe, thanks and good luck again!
I like chess, but I must play it with beginners because it is difficult for me to learn it.
