Hello Chess players on Hive
Yesterday, we continued Season 2 of the HiveChess Saturday Weekly Tournament with Round 2. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had a lower turnout than usual this round, but the games were still sharp and competitive, with some very strong performances at the top.

A Quick Note 🙏
I sincerely apologize for not sending out tournament reminders this week. An emergency came up unexpectedly, and I wasn’t able to notify players in time. This contributed to the lower turnout and a less competitive field than usual. Normal reminders will resume going forward.
