Honest Chess League 1 (Round 4)
My Dear Chess Friends!
We have concluded the 3rd round of our Honest Chess League Tournament. Again, 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 your results from the 3rd round, and pairings for the 4th round. As for the standings, we have Sheldon Sequeira in the lead with 3 points. Every Monday I will publish new pairings in our group on Chess.com. Don't forget to visit it at least weekly.
