Online Chess Tournament "Summer - 2020" (6th round)
My Dear Chess Friends!
The 5th round is played and we have some special news.
1. Cheating was detected. Thomas Hynes admitted he was cheating in some of his games. That's why this player was disqualified from the tournament and all players who played against him in first 5 rounds received 1 point.
2. We still have 2 leaders: V Bhat Navodith & Shriya Revankar who scored 5 of 5 and in the 6th round they are going to play against each other!
Thank you for playing the 5th round! Those, who didn' play, got "losses"!
IMPORTANT! Don't forget to send me the link of your game by e-mail at tricksofchess@gmail.com
Please, find the results of the 5th round, standings after round 5 and pairings for the 6th round. Every Monday I publish new pairings in our group on Chess.com. Don't forget to visit it at least weekly.
