Steem Blitz Chess Tournament 03 March 2018.... And the winner is .....(video commentary by @schamangerbert)
The 21th edition was completed with 21 players
As Rousseau could not compose without his cat beside him, so I cannot play chess without my king's bishop. In its absence the game to me is lifeless and void. The vitalizing factor is missing, and I can devise no plan of attack.

Die 21. Ausgabe wurde mit 21 Spielern absolviert
Da Rousseau nicht ohne seine Katze neben ihm komponieren konnte, kann ich ohne den Bischof meines Königs kein Schach spielen. In seiner Abwesenheit ist das Spiel für mich leblos und leer. Der vitalisierende Faktor fehlt und ich kann keinen Angriffsplan entwickeln.

SecularSagacity (@ape-5th) was only just ahead of sirtetris (@zacherybinx) in the 21st round of our weekly Steem Chess Tournament. Very strong played perpz (@perpz) and evgchess (@evgsk) who have finished far above their level. k4r1nn has not registered yet, 2 other players have not played any games. My last game could not be counted, it would have brought me to the 4th place. Here is the result:
In der 21. Runde unseres wöchentlichen Steem Schachtunieres konnte sich SecularSagacity (@ape-5th) nur ganz knapp vor sirtetris (@zacherybinx) durchsetzen. Ganz stark spielten perpz (@perpz) und evgchess (@evgsk) die weit über ihrem Niveau abgeschnitten haben. k4r1nn hat sich noch nicht registriert, 2 weitere Spieler haben keine Partien gespielt. Meine letzte Partie konnte nicht mehr gewertet werden, sie hätte mich auf den 4. Platz gebracht. Hier ist das Resultat:

Tanks @schamangerbert. My network was pretty bad and I lost some games due to that. If you review my games, you would see some where not played and others only one move made. But it's all good, I still managed to plce third. I'll be looking foward to the next tourney. Here's my link to a review of the tourney

Thank you very much dear @schamangerbert for the excellent tournament!
Many thanks to my opponents for the chess lessons!
I'm glad to see some progress in 5+2 games. I remember our first games and my first tournament. It was shoсk for me! I've never played before with a time limit.
P.S.: My last game also couldn't be counted, perhaps it would have brought me to the 4th place ) Although of course you play much stronger than me!
You caught me by surprise with your opening, haha!
Thanks for another great tournament !!! I only had the chance of playing one game put at least I got to play at all !!!
Hey, @schamangerbert, thanks for hosting these tournaments, the payout and especially your live gameplay! I was almost as nervous re-watching your game against me as playing it.
If you hadn't berserked, I'm sure you would've won! And my +/- 2 minutes thinking in there was really my internet-connection being down. I was frantically trying to reconnect! Glad to have played against you, it was a long time ago :)
See you Saturday, and I'm trying to bring along my chess-buddy @mrfrost to the tournament!
Unfortunately I could not play.😔😔
