State of the 4545 League

by @kostasvl

Game reviews for the games of the 17th season of the 4545 league were made this Sunday by members of the lichess4545 community. We deeply thank @quirked and @Somethingpretentious for the effort they put to this review. The link is provided in the videos chapter. And guess what... This Saturday at 13:00 stay tuned for the 2nd part of the reviews. 3 of the games that weren't reviewed will be reviewed by our dream team. @quirked and @Somethingpretentious of course!

Week 1 of the 18th season is still on the way. Teams were formed last week and now the 2 races have started! You'll be wondering which one is the 2nd one. It's the real team name competition!

In Season 5 of the Crazyhouse Team League, ZHorro were the champions with a commanding performance winning all of their five matches. Congratulations! Their team was made up of RapidVariants, CrazyHome, grogers, pkr5025, GodBless111, Isachess and darubaru (with Zher0 substituting in as alt for one round). TheIngloriousForkers led by TheFinnisher finished second with 3.5/5, while Cirque du So-Cray came third with 3/5. Top individual performers in the league were TheFinnisher from Finland living up to his number one seeding with 6/10, while CrazyHome from India was top board 2 with 8/10, pepellou the famous lichess streamer from Galicia in Spain was top board 3 with 7/10, pkr5025 was top board 4 with 8/10 and the biggest improver during the course of the league finishing the Season with a zh rating above 2100, charliehorse55 from Canada was top board 5 with 8/10, Isachess was top board 6 with a perfect 10/10, and jwwells42 was top board 7 also with 10/10. Special congratulations to Isachess and jwwells42 for being the players of the league in Season 5. For sure they will both be chosen on higher boards next season! Huge thanks to colwem especially for keeping the programming of the zh league website working (although this site will go down once it is fully integrated into lichess4545.com) as well as to the other crazyhouse mods (FischyVishy, kostasvl & Zher0). In total there were 184 matches. You can read a recap of the season with some pretty crazyhouse gifs over on http://zhchess.blogspot.com/2019/08/season-5-of-zh-league.html and okei has selected 80 puzzles from the league which were streamed by pepellou and okeizh on Twitch in a live crazyhouse puzzle competition which you can watch in the videos chapter in 2 parts. It starts out very easy so everyone will benefit with a couple of dozen mates in 1 and then progressively gets tougher and ending with a brief survey of three particularly interesting games.
