Honest Chess League 1 (Round 5)
My Dear Chess Friends!
We have concluded the 4th 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 both get "0's" and disqualified if it continues. 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 4th round, and pairings for the 5th round.
As for the standings, we have Sheldon Sequeira and Oskun Anar in the lead with 3.5 points. Every Monday I will publish new pairings in our group on Chess.com. Don't forget to visit it at least weekly.
