State of the 4545 League
by @SpiteKnight
Round 3 of the 4545 League promises to be an exciting one, with nine teams taking all 4 points available to them until now and challenging each other for the first place. This round should filter out the consistent leaders from the dogged challengers. At the other end of the spectrum, six teams have been unable to put points on the board yet and will surely be fighting hard to stay in the hunt.
Lonewolf League is in it's final round! It's crunch time boys and girls! Open section is being fought by @Kuhfighter and @Journey_to_NM who are on 8.5 points each. @Journey_to_NM (black) faces the winner of Lonewolf Season 8, @mn8 (white), in his final quest. Catch this exciting game on Thursday at 23:00 UTC. U1800 section has a lot of drama left with three players fighting for a first place finish and more players for the podium. @SpiteKnight, @lakinwecker and @Chrisca408 are on 8 points each. @Chrisca408 vs. @SpiteKnight on Thursday at 06:00 UTC and @BranzaDubla vs. @lakinwecker on Saturday at 17:00 UTC will decide the winners for this section. We wish good luck to all the players and wait in anticipation for the Champions!
Meanwhile: - Blitz Battle #32 was won by @ErinYu!
- Rapid Battle,15+2 final game, @moistvonlipwig (won) vs assassin_in_white.
Congratulations to both! Rapid Battle was decided in an exciting and arduous Armageddon final!

Chess Study
by @ErinYu
Another great annotated game by @ErinYu with the following description:
'Queen's Gambit Declined: Exchange Variation. My teammate's topsy-turvy game that features several instructive tactical and strategical moments.
But they're mostly tactical moments, so sit back, get some popcorn, and enjoy the show?'
