Hivechess Tournament S20 Round 7: @kintokris almost did it!

Dear chess fans,

yesterday the 7^th round of S20 was played. For the rules please refer to the announcement post. It was a 4+2 blitz arena with 24 players of an average rating of 1660.

This time @kintokris by a hair's breadth could overthrone our IM and serial winner. He ended up as runner-up with the same points as @maestroask! The third place went to @franu, slightly ahead of @dhilan04 and @rosmarly. @masterswatch and @sammy00 made it into the top10 as well and were placed in front of me, but also had much easier pairings. Anyway, congrats to All!
