State of the 4545 League

by @SpiteKnight

Season 14 comes to a close this week. Team 'Hey Guys, it's John' are in charge of their own fate, they could win the season by winning their round. Team 'Ha, We Got Lovlas' are second with a point being all the difference. We've got four teams fighting it out for the third place, all currently on same number of match points.

With a season coming to an end it's time for an end of season survey and game reviews:

End of season survey: "Let us know what we did right and wrong so we can make it less wrong next time and more right! https://goo.gl/forms/vcGTc1eDr9Qvw1fH3"

"We’re happy to announce that IM Andras Toth will do the end of season game reviews. He will analyse one game per board.
Use this link to nominate your choice of games to be considered for the review: https://www.lichess4545.com/team4545/nominate/"

"Donations are open for the end of season video reviews by none other than IM Andras Toth
