Nineteenth Chess960 Hivechess Tournament Results

Hello everyone.
Half of the 2026 planned Chess960 Tournaments are done. 6 editions left until end of the year. For sure more players would have made June edition of the tournament more competitive and interesting. Due to a bit low participation, an additional 10 Hive will be transferred for the July edition
(5 Hive for the winner, 3 Hive for the runner up and 2 Hive for the third place).
If you think that changing the time or the day of the tournament would make more players participate feel free to express your opinion in the comments.

Top 5 of the Tournament

Same as previous tournament, @maestroask (IM Odnoobraz) is the winner of the June edition of the Tournament. Second win in row. This time the competition was much more closer than usual. Nice win in the end.
Congratulations.

Second place goes to @fcastro177 (FCastro17). Only one point behind the winner and two win against @maestroask (IM Odnoobraz). Excellent result.
Congratulations.

Third place winner is @tangibleay (Tangible_ay). Same points as second place. Win in the last game would mean first place. So close to the winning.
Congratulations.

Fourth place went to me @sammy00 (migmag) and @hazem91 (hazem91tn) was fifth. Congratulations.

Biggest upset reward goes to @hazem91 (hazem91tn) for his win against @tangibleay (Tangible_ay). 297 elo difference in the win. Normally my win against @stayoutoftherz had more elo diference in the win - 299 - but this was quite good win with blunder of castling into the checkmate.
One move blunder or mouse slip. This was position after the castling.
