Hello everyone.
Round 7 was quite interesting for me. Good games, bad games, good moves, blunders and more. It is a chess game. You click all of above when you play. Sometimes fun and sometimes not.
How does it look on the leaderboard during tournament?
At the end we have result but it is interesting to see ups and downs and changes in top 10 at least.
Round 7 recap of top 10 leaderboard during tournament.
This is standings 17 minutes into the round 7 or 53 minutes till the end of the tournament.
Rest of the group is within 1 point.@kintokris in lead and @masterswatch second with same points. Third is @maestroask with one point less than leaders.
It is still beginning so there is not that much points for grabs as in 17 minutes you can play 2 or 3 games.
45 minutes till the end of the tournament. No changes in top 3 players however @kintokris starts to open a lead and is now 3 points ahead of second position.
Can they stay there and improve?@uniforced and @stranger27 jumped in top 10.
Difference between 4th place and 10th place is only 2 points.
And another 5 minutes passed. Some games played right?
What does standings show?
@kintokris still a leader. But now @maestroask took second place and pushed to the third position.
Quite a battle between top 3. Can @maestroask go for the first in next 5 minutes?
And we are talking about close standings. 5th place and 10th have same number of points. What?
@samostically and @rafaelaquino in top 10.
@samostically was saying in his post that he needs to do better in tournament and concentrate more in the beginning. Is this his time? Still a lot of time to play and points to get.
Now we are at half way of the tournament. 35 minutes passed and 35 minutes to go.
Any favorites until now?
We have changes in top 3. @kintokris and @maestroask are first and second.
And in third place is @migmag. Wait, what, why?
@masterswatch at fourth now. He has skipped some rounds so he is hungry for chess. You cant write him off yet.
Same points from 5th to 10th place. Mode is 4 + 2 so not much is changed in 5 minutes.
@dhilan04 is in top 10 now. He is knocking on the door of top 3.
15 minutes later and 20 minutes to the end of the tournament.
Top 4 players stay same as before.
@kintokris is leader.
Guess who is number 5. @dhilan04 of course.
@stayoutofherz is back at top 10.
And no time to lose. Go for the top.@jay12y is there too with his only second appearance this season.
15 minutes to go.
Nerves are kicking in. Or not.
@kintokris and @maestroask and battle for the first place
@kintokris with 22 points and @maestroask 21 points. Such a close round.
6th to 10th place within 2 points.@rosmarly is now at third place. @migmag at fourth with same number of points. No way.
@masterswatch at 5th place.
Five minutes to go. Some of the last games and last pairings this round.
@kintokris and @maestroask as first and second.
@masterswatch number three with same points as @migmag at fourth place.
@dhilan04 and @rosmarly are 5th and 6th with same number of points and 1 points less than third place. Everything can happen now.
@franu @justfavour @stranger27 and @samostically are 7th,8th,9th and 10th place. With same number of points.
I assume there are more players in top 20 with same number of points.
Such a close round.
And end. Everyone overtook everyone.
@kintokris and @maestroask had same number of points but @maestroask finished round as winner. In the end managed to get that first place. @kintokris second but led the round most of the way.
Congrats to @kintokris and @maestroask on the show.
Such a good strategy from the @franu. Third place. @franu was in the middle of the pack through out the round and at the end with strong finish get to the third place.
Congratulations.
Nice round. Changes in standing all the way to the end.
What is next?
Mode: 5+0 (5 minutes per game, no increment), 70 min arena tournament

Nice little recap. Yeah, quite often, the standing are swinging nicely. Makes the tournament so much fun 😍
See you soon @sammy00
yep, the road to till the end of the tournament is exciting
Interesting! Without doing screenshots in between there is no way to track down the rankings over time.
yep, in shorter time modes standings are more dynamic but taking screenshots is harder
Interesting for sure, maybe standings with 10 or 15 minutes time difference can look nice
