Dear Chessfans,
in the 8th round of Hiveches season 5 we were 14 players, with an average rating of 1902 which topped even the one from the last round! And again we could welcome a new strong player, @gabotask (GVillalobos), also new on Hive, please check out his blog! It was a 4+0 in Swiss mode, and @sawko could win this time only by the better Tie break, he and @jaki01 had both 8 of 9 points. Third was @maverieux000 (Keylix) followed by @gabotask (GVillalobos) with a good fourth place in his first appearance. Congratulations to the top ranked players in this strong field.
