State of the 4545 League

by @SpiteKnight

 

We're in the meaty bit of the tournaments. Team Sac It and See have been comfortably leading the 4545 League but it could all still change with two rounds to go. There's a lot more tussle for a podium finish with as many as six teams tied on third place by match points, only to be separated by game points. 
LoneWolf is in it's final round. The leader of the Open Section @NotEvenClose has lost their final round match up to third placed @Vacuum_Cleaner, and second placed @wookash_888 recieved a half-point bye. Standings in this section should be a tight finish. @OutdoorTree leads U1800 section with a lead of half a point over @jitre in second place and a full point over @FiveKnights in third place.

 

For those who enjoy watching chess videos on YouTube, I recently came across a channel called 'Hanging Pawns,' which I feel is underrated. Thought I'd feature it here for the enjoyment of those who are interested.
