2018 Champion - Arka50!

After defeating onubense and then defeating me convincingly in two matches @Arka50 has retained his Atomic World Champion title! Congratulations to Arka!

Having played Arka in the tournament I found his defence in difficult positions especially impressive, while his score of 6.5/7 with White in the final matches was also hard to compete against.

I hope people have enjoyed watching and/or playing this year. Thanks to all especially those who helped organise and stream @ProgramFox @onubense @Natso

Congratulations to Arka50! Thank you tipau for organizing once again.

Congrats to @Arka50 for such a strong showing this tournament!

So many great games to go back and look through from everyone! :D

Special thanks to @tipau and @ProgramFox for organizing this tourney, such an great event and glad to see there are now official trophies that Lichess now gives to the winners.

Hope to see many of you at the final FishyVishy Variants World Cup tourney in a few hours, and perhaps at another Atomic Revolution next year!
