Honest Chess League 1 (Round 2)
My Dear Chess Friends!
I'm glad to announce that we have concluded the 1st round of our Honest Chess League Tournament. No cheaters were spotted, and I am hoping that it will stay that way. Anyways, I want to ask you to play FAIR!
However, not all players played their games and got losses.
