Hivechess Tournament Season 19 Round 10: @dhilan04 came back and won

Dear chess fans,

yesterday the 10^th round of season 19 was played. For the rules please refer to the announcement post.

It was a 3+1 Swiss tournament over 9 rounds with 19 players!

After his absence last week that costed him the lead, @dhilan04 returned and won in style with 8/9 points. Behind was a bunch of players with 7/9: @fcastro177, @yinjuolu (Yetundefemii) and @kintokris. Congratulations to All!

In this position from the game against @fcastro177, I (with Black) had just lost a piece after Nf6+ and Qxb7. But was it really a free piece? What is the best way to continue with Black here?

Black to move:

! [Solution]

1. Ne2+ Kh1
2. Txh2+! Kxh2
3. Qh8+ and mate in 1

^{Players can switch between the tournament tiers in case their rating changes!}

In tournament 3 @rosmarly was missing this round, so @dhilan04 could grab back the top rank! The top 3 are only 5 points apart, everything is still possible with 2 rounds to go!

See you all next week - and keep practicing!
