State of the 4545 League

by @SpiteKnight

Round 5 of the League has commenced. Team, 'Poisoned Spud Variation' has emerged as the sole leader while winning each of their 4 rounds.

LoneWolf Season 10 has ended. Here is a survey for all the members to provide feedback of their experience of the same. The survey also helps in deciding the community preference of when the next season should start. We urge all our readers to take two minutes and provide valuable feedback to the moderators.

Updates on the sister leagues:

Rapid Battle #2 has just begun with 32 participants, of which 11 are above lichess rating of 2000. You can late-join up to June 11, but late-joining makes your chances of winning more difficult since you'd automatically be placed in a lower bracket (also you get less games). Each round requires two games (one as white, one as black, with starting colours up to the participants) to be played.

Registration is still open at: https://goo.gl/forms/O8K8RytucOTrcupj1

Assassin_in_White (Masters)
kjfoster17 (Candidate Masters I)
s2004k1993 (Candidate Masters II)
dose7781 (Group C)

Congratulations to all!

Thanks to everyone who participated in Season 2 of Series. Registration for the next edition should begin from 28th May, 2018. Season 3 Should probably begin by 11th June, 2018.
