Hello Chess lovers!

Welcome to the reminder post for round 15 of the HiveChess weekly tournament, held every Saturday. This weekend happens to coincide with my birthday. I turn 26 this week. So there’d be a special prize (15 hive each) for 2nd and 6th positions. If I finish either, it goes to the next in line.

This chess tournament is held every Saturday and is hosted by me @samostically, you can check out the Introduction Post for more details
