Congratulations to Tamanduas for winning the Hive Fair Play Cup 2023!

The second edition of the Fair Play Cup, the official Hive Team Championship, recently ended.  The event saw 16 teams of 4 players each battling in rapid games for 3 months and culminated with the victory of the South American team Tamanduas! The team featured Quodlibet, Loizz, Kaur50 and Humdeabril. The second place was shared by 4 (!) different teams, proving that the competition was quite challenging and the result was unclear until the very last round!

Congratulations also to the best individual players of the tournament: Quodlibet (both absolute and 1st board!), InDusDusDus (2nd board), Samax (3rd board). The results are fully displayed below.  

Thanks to the Hungarian Hive Club (Csigeee and Laci5555) for organizing this event, and we hope to see even more participation next year!
