NEW! Honest Chess League 1 (FINAL RESULTS!)
Hello everyone!
I am glad to announce that we have finished our Honest Chess League 1 Tournament, and I congratulate everyone who participated.
Now let me introduce to you our winners!
First of all, Rudy Padovan outplayed Oskun Anar, unfortunately, this was the worst game for Oskun in the tournament. Rudy gets first place and the prize of $75, which he was nice enough to put towards the fee for entering the next tournament for everyone who played in the last round. The list of players who may pariticipate in the next tournament with a registration fee is at the bottom of post.
Second place goes to Oskun Anar, who was leading for 6 rounds and lost the 7th game to Rudy Padovan. The prize is $25 + a 1 hour training session with FM Viktor Neustroev. Oskun, please, e-mail me to receice a money prize and schedule our session.
Vitalii Kalugin managed to get the 3rd place after a nice game against Sheldon Sequeira. Vitalii's prizes are 3 Chess courses devoted to 3 groups of tactical motifs, which together are about 5.5 hours in length.
Fourth place was split between Timur Milgrom and Andrew Wells, both of which got 5 points. There is no prize for fourth place, unfortunately. But I wish you good luck in the next tournament!
For more details, please look at the results of the 7th rounds and final standings below!
