Out of nowhere @iceblue (Splitrooks) came and rocked the show with 16 points and a performance of 2337, dwarfing the remaining lineup of players!

Out of nowhere?!? That was my hard work: over the weeks I tried to convince him to join the tournament, explained him that he had got a HIVE account together with an airdrop, messaged him again five minutes before the start of the tournament, couldn't finish to cook my tea on time, which I badly needed after just waking up and missed the first round of the competition. And what did this '@iceblue' do? Did he say "Thank you for all your efforts?" Not at all, his only, unbelievable ungrateful reaction was to play a really good game against me which he could convert into a well deserved victory!!

More strong players in the tournaments improve the learning curve for everyone. So don’t stop recruiting. By the way I kind of like @iceblue lichess name. :)

I think "(The)Rooksplitter" had sounded even more violent than "Splitrooks". :-)

Many thanks! I was already assuming this player is the strong player you were mentioning that you would try to bring in. You did it!

Hey guys what are the ways to find this tournament?

  1. Couldn't see it in lichess.
  2. There are no links from here.

Thanks for your time @stayoutoftherz

No problem, the link is posted app. 1 hour before each tournament in the announcement post. Unfortunately in lichess you can´t see them anymore.
