Steem Blitz Chess Tournament 23 Dec 2017.... And the winner is ..... (full video commentary by @schamangerbert)
The 11th edition was completed with amazing 13 players
"Korchnoi: An endgame with uneven-colored runners is like spending a lifetime with one wife."
Die 11. Ausgabe wurde mit erstaunlichen 13 Spielern absolviert
" Korchnoi: Ein Endspiel mit ungleichfarbigen Läufern ist wie wenn man das ganze Leben mit einer Ehefrau verbringt. "

With 13 players the best attended tournament of the year! An hour before the beginning the chat room has filled and there were more and more coming in. The Reminder article by @juanmi96 from Venezuela has lured a number of Spanish-speaking participants into the tournament , for that a big thank you! As always, I try to capture a bit of the mood with my video commentary and wish you as much fun while watching it. Here is the result:

Der Reminder Artikel von @juanmi96 aus Venezuela hat eine Reihe von spanisch sprechenden Teilnehmern ins Turnier gelockt, dafür ein großes Dankeschön! Wie immer versuche ich mit meinem Videokommentar ein wenig der Stimmung einzufangen und wünsche Euch beim Betrachten genausoviel Spaß. Hier ist das Resultat:

Well managed preparation, communication and tournament .
Thank you for the welcome atmosphere.
I'd like to see if this can grow...
We had 3-6 Players before, so it was the greatest event so far.
You came, played and won!
Everyone may make a post about it and promote it, it is our tournament.
You may pick one game and write a comment on it, just post your link then here.
Best luck for your start on this platform!
At minute 24:26 you had 1Rc8+! If Kd7 2. Qxf2, Bxf2 3. Rxg8. Or... 1.Rc8+ If Kf7 2. Qxh5+ Kg7 3. Qg4+ ... Whatever he play, you take the Rook with Rxg8. Making a web of checkmate, and preventing the checkmate in your king
