State of the 4545 League

by @kostasvl

 

Season 20 of the 4545 team league successfully started the 3rd of February and after 3 rounds 2 teams are in the lead with 3/3 match wins separated by 1.5 game points, but of course there are still many rounds left for other teams to seek a good spot in the top as well. The two top teams (Caissa's Misfits and Blunder Wars: Revenge of the Sicilian) are playing against each other this week.

Study

by @TaielChess

 

Hi everyone. This is my first season in the Lichess 4545 League. I really liked the time control and the games that can be played with more time on the clock than usual. Also I want to say that the community is great, chatting in the TV and cheering your opponent during the game. I took the time to review all the games of Week 1, or Round 1 if you like, and choose some games. To me these were the best games and I analyzed them as usual with instructive purposes. If you think I missed a game which is highlight of Round 1, please send the link in the chat and I will consider to add it or not after an analysis. If you like it please leave some feedback!

We thank @TaielChess for his study and below we have the week 2 and week 3 accordingly highlights. Thank you @TaielChess for your content!
