Hive Fair Play Cup 2024:
Congrats to the Hungarian Hive Club!
After a very tense last round, one of the teams of the Hungarian Hive Club emerged victorious in the Hive Fair Play Cup 2024, the team tournament organised (by the same club!) since 2022.
Tied with the same score (5/6) but second by Buchholz tie-break was the British team Fish and Chips! And with only half a point less (4.5) the third place went to the Eastern European Borscht.
The powerful American teams Tamanduas and The Buzz Kills got 4 and 3.5 respectively, confirming the level of competition this year was higher than ever!
Thanks to all the 19 teams for participating and see you next year in January for a new edition!

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 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!
