Lichess4545 Ledger
Issue #034 - July 18, 2017
State of the League
Same old news with regards to the standings. "Overworked and Underpromoted" are still undefeated! They still have an 4 match point lead with only 1 rounds to go meaning they have clinched the top spot for season 8! Congratulations!! Good luck to everyone else in the last round.
As the season ends it might be interesting to see who is leading for the board prizes. This can be viewed here. The link shows board 1 but you can click on the dropdown menu to see the leaders on the other other 5 boards.
For those interested in joining for Season 9 of Lichess45|45 and want an email reminder about registration you can join the mailing list here.
The mods have opened up nominations for the best games of season 8. We are still unsure if there will be a youtube review, but please nominate great games nonetheless (if no youtube review we might do something else!). Be sure to submit your nominations by sending @chesster a Direct Message with, nomination 45 to get a link where you can enter your nominations.

Chess Puzzle
From a round 7 game on board 1 4545: @mn8 vs @mariuseg. Black just played f4. White to move. A good endgame exercise. Only 1 move saves the draw for white.
For the answer see gamelink.
