Honest Chess League 1 (Round 3)
My Dear Chess Friends!
I am happy to announce that we have concluded the 2nd round of our Honest Chess League Tournament. Even though everything is going well, we are having some minor problems. Not everyone is sending links to their games and it is very difficult to find them, so please, send a link of the game you played to tricksofchess@gmail.com.
Sadly, not everyone has played, and the players that continue doing this will be disqualified. If there is a reason you cannot play, please contact me. Anyways, I want to ask you to play FAIR and good luck!
Please, find the result of the 2nd round, pairings for the 3rd round and standings. Every Monday I will publish new pairings in our group on Chess.com. Don't forget to visit it at least weekly.
