The battles between the master & grandmaster players continues to take its toll on everyone, haltng the advance in ranking points. Most players have settled into their ranking zones. Finding it increasingly difficult to advance and more importantly remain in the next zone. A new equilibrium continues to be established, maturing slowly, as based on their cranial abilities, players become entrenched in their place.
One player who has managed this feat, is aiyedunseun from Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ, who after a series of hard fought matches with the likes of, grandmastert, kasoniga, laladom, lordcity, oladelefire, roberisco, tobiloba etc, managed to advance into the top ranking zone, red (2100+). Joining his compatriot mrjohnson, er17 ๐ฐ๐ฟ & leprophete ๐ง๐ฏ, the later two continuing to remain in this zone by default due to absence.
The threshold for inclusion in the top ten has reduced slightly. Two players are under last weekโs minimum ranking. The way things are going it wonโt be too long when yellow ranked players (1500 - 1799) will not get a look into the top ten. With new master players coming onto the platform, especially incognito with guest accounts, the state of affairs looks likely to be shaken up.
The giant of Afrika, Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ continues to dominate the top ten of active players ranking list, with half the players. The two players from Ghana ๐ฌ๐ญ, lordcity & roberisco have maintained their places on this list. laladom from Togo ๐น๐ฌ & dsk from Benin ๐ง๐ฏ have also maintained their places. e17 from Kazakhstan, joins grandmastert from Antigua & Barbuda ๐ฆ๐ฌ as players from outside the Afrikan continent on the list, well done to them. ๐๐๐
One player who is showing some promise of stirring things up is harrison01 from Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ, who was able to play roberisco to 2 - 2 draw in one of their matches. Another player to look out for utilising a guest username, is gng7490. This player did a quick recce two weeks ago on the platform playing only one game against grandmastert, demolishing him with a double kroo. He made an appearance again yesterday, but this time grandmastert was able to get the better of whoever this player is.
