Dear chess fans,
yesterday the first round of S22 was played, for the first time as two separate tournaments (you can check out the rules in the @stayoutoftherz/hivechess-season-22-finally-arrived" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">announcement post). In total 19 players were joining, not too bad overall (last season it was 18 in round 1) but only 7 were in the Masters which is a lttle on the low end.
In the Masters which had an average rating of 2149, more than every second game was berserked (5min seems a too long time for many😄). @maestroask - not unexpectedly - won with hardly any real competition, as many strong players like @jaki01 or @eniolw were missing (I hope they can join in future rounds). The result looks closer than it was - our IM had joined only half-way through the tournament and still was able to catch the top spot. I was the runner-up, ahead of @tangibleay and @samostically (who suffered from connection problems).
In the Challengers there were 12 players with an average rating of 1567. The berserk rate was "only" 37%, largely driven by winner @sammy00 who - after 2 initial losses - berserked his way to the top! He won with 5 points lead ahead of @justola1, @odic3o1 and @rafaelaquino. Congratulations to All!
