State of the League

We are already onto round 4 and only one team remains perfect with six match points, "Overworked and Underpromoted." It will be difficult to keep that lead for the rest of the season. Who knows, maybe they win the end of season award for biggest team collapse.

If you haven't been following closely, two members of the lichess4545 community have been recently competing in some big time OTB tournaments. IM Lovlas is still competing in the Norwegian Championship Elite group. @Aliquantus recently finished the 9 round Nordic Championship scoring 3.5/9 having to face 5 titled players in 9 rounds. We were and are cheering for you!

The final round of Lonewolf is this week! It's come down to the wire and board 1 and 2 will decide it all. The top 4 players with 8.5 or 8 points are matched up in the final round. Who will come out on top?!

Quick updates on the other leagues

  • Round 11 of Lonewolf starts this week. Best of luck!
