Here is the Ranking after 7 Rounds:
I got 2nd Place, no losses, 2 draws and 5 wins, I was the only undefeated Player of the entire Tournament! Tiebreaks (Buchholz) had to decide the entire podium! 4 Players had 6/7!!
Here is my Study including the 7 Openings and the 7 Ending positions:

There were a lot of Time Scrambles due to the Time Format (15+0), like proving that a last pawn was captured and Rook vs Rook is than a Draw with 4s on the Clock.
The referee had a tough job and managed the tournament very well.
Or the following situation: w=1s vs b=0s, and the clock of the black pieces hit 0s before the clock of the white pieces hit 0s too (both clocks showed 00.00 at the End).
Resumé:
- So, after all, I was pretty happy with the quality of my Play! I managed my Time pretty well, was mostly ahead on the Clock and in 5/7 Games I got 4,5 Points with no Risk of Losing, in the other 2 it was two times Rollercoaster Rides: I drew K+P vs K with at the End with 30s on my Clock and won the Last Round with 150s vs 90s remaining in the End.
- I'm again in all Time Formats undefeated, like Neverlusen (51, now 1), I played 3 Classical Games (1,1,1/2) and 7 Rapid Games (1,1,1,1/2,1/2,1,1), so 10 Games (before 30 Games non-losing-streak)!
Until next Time.
