NEW! Honest Chess League 1 (Round 6)
My Dear Chess Friends!
We have concluded Round 5 of our Honest Chess League Tournament. A lot of people are not playing their games, and I am deciding which person gets the win based on who didn't communicate with their opponent or who couldn't play. 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 5th round, and pairings for the 6th round. As for the standings, we have Oskun Anar in the lead with 4.5 points.
Every Monday I will publish new pairings in our group on Chess.com. Don't forget to visit it at least weekly.
