### [Check the official announcement here](https://leofinance.io/@leogrowth/dragons-flee-as-lions-roar-or-23-dragons-slayed-and-230k-leo-powered-up)

This is a video where I pick the LPUD winners for the month of November, this is not an announcement, it's just a video where anyone can watch the process we used to pick the winners of the 6th Leo Power Up day.

This is the SQL query I ran to get the LPUD November participants:

```

Select

ID, json, timestamp, tid, required_auth

From

TxCustoms

where

timestamp between '2022-11-14' and '2022-11-16 14:00:00'

and tid like '%ssc_mainnet_hive%'

and json like '%"contractAction":"stake"%'

and json like '%"symbol":"LEO"%'

order by timestamp desc

```

***

This is the Javascript script I ran to clean the SQL database:

```

const leo = [

'{"contractName":"tokens","contractAction":"stake","contractPayload":{"to":"tinyputerboy","symbol":"LEO","quantity":"0.225"}}',

'{"contractName":"tokens","contractAction":"stake","contractPayload":{"to":"kolus290","symbol":"LEO","quantity":"2.115"}}',

];

for (let i = 0; i < leo.length; i++) {

const obj = JSON.parse(leo[i]);

console.log(parseFloat(obj.contractPayload.quantity));

}

```

Here are the bet IDs of every roll I made to pick the winners and you can crosscheck them with the video:

Curation on Leo Finance is [partly decentralized](https://leofinance.io/@leogrowth/curation-by-leo-finance-just-got-a-decentralized-flavor) and handled by community members who became ambassadors, a couple of curators, and also by [a role system](https://leofinance.io/@leogrowth/did-anyone-say-use-cases-for-discord-roles) where users can submit their own posts for curation depending on their Leo Power.

Overall, we have a pretty good system that is slowly trending towards decentralization, but we are still a semi-centralized project that strives to reward the very best posts using the 'leofinance' tag or that are posted on leofinance.io

We are constantly checking the *created* feed and we pick the best 30-50 daily posts and we vote them to populate the *curator's picks* section, and then we curate accordingly with @leo.voter, one of the biggest curation accounts on the hive blockchain.

If you are looking for some tips on how to make a great post on Leo Finance, and you want to make amazing content that gets the attention of the curators, the community and be featured in the *curator's picks* section, then this video is for you.

This is part of a series that will go out every single wednesday - provided the community likes the idea and gets behind it - and I might probably do it live for the LeoTV initiative that is slowly (but steadily) cooking.

Let me know any kind of feedback you may have, every piece of comment is more than welcome!

This is sick, I am now 1400 ELO in rapid chess, I am part of the top 6% chess players on chess.com

This is not bad at all, especially considering I was 800 ELO just one year ago.

But this session was bad man, pretty bad.

The meta at this level is crazy and I am definitely not prepared to strive to reach 1500, now I actually have to study and not just watch videos and play around if I want to reach my goal before 2023

But anyway, I hope you like this session!

I've been wanting to do an episode like this with @samostically or @stayoutoftherz, but we haven't been able to coordinate this yet.

Even so, I usually post chess videos where I explain my thought process and logic - without any censorship - while I play against other players. It's been only one time when I actually solved puzzles live and uploaded that video.

Back then I had a 1000 rapid rating. Fast forward a few months later and I that rating is 1300. For every chess player out there, there is a higher puzzle level than an actual rapid level, some people even have their puzzle level several times higher than their rapid level. I only have a *twice as high* puzzle level compared to my rapid rating.

But hey, I finally reached 1300 on rapid, which translates to 1500 on Lichess. My New year's proposition was to go from 700 ELO to 1500 in rapid on chess.com, so I still haven't reached that goal, but I'm slowly getting there, especially since this is my highest rating ever. I will probably lose it as fast as I got it, or maybe not, who knows

Either way, let me show you how I solve puzzles at this rapid level:

I'm not even ready to start thinking of winning this tournament, or even finish in the top 10 of the standings any Friday, not today and not on any Friday of 2023 or even 2024.

I began playing chess when I was 12, pretty late in terms of Chess, by that age kids are already grandmasters and by 15 they are already winning tournaments.

I won one when I was like 13 but that was it, I stopped playing chess from 13-14 to 32 years of age. I played every once in a while but nothing serious and definitely nothing constant, until last year.

This Hive chess tournament used to have *only strong players* that completely obliterated me every time we played but, as of today, I realized that the intermediate quorum of players is here now and there is finally a section - at least when talking about the level of the players, not a real separate section - for players my level.

I could say I obliterated my section, from players from 1200 to 1500 but I lost one of my games because I wasn't even aware there was time increment and I blundered because I thought I only had 4 seconds in total instead of one second per move. Otherwise I would've ended with 5 wins and 3 losses - plus another win against my long time enemy @rodrook, a hiver that I've played 17 times in total and we were 50/50 in wins and losses until today.

Anyway, there is a chess league every friday, if you play chess and you have a 1000 ELO level, you might be interested in playing, you will learn a lot here.

In the meantime, watch me finally get a winning result on this tournament (I usually finish with a negative record these tournaments).

Oh and by the way, this tournament has a sponsorship of 500 LEO made by @leofinance and you can still win a share of this prize pool, consider joining next week!

For those who don't play chess, winning six games in a row - at any level - is a pretty hard thing to do, especially if you are trying to pull an ELO all-time-high where the stakes and the nerves are at full.

If you play chess then you already know this is a good streak. Maybe not a Hikaru-like streak but it is still a good one.

I managed to destro four of my six opponents and I was able to create some counterplay and take advantage of two of my opponents' mistakes and, ultimately I won six matches in a row.

I am now over 1250 ELO in rapid chess on chess.com, I am still very far from my goals of reaching 1500 ELO points before 2023 and, to put some context into it, people who take lessons and pay courses can grow 200-300 points per semester. I've gone from 800 to 1450 in 9 months by just playing, watching videos and paying attention to patterns and analyzing my games afterwards.

Right now, 1250 ELO puts me on the 89.5% percentile in rapid, which means that I can outplay almost 90% of the chess players in the biggest chess platform in the world. Not bad at all, huh?

Maybe I should've put the time I spent playing into good use, but we all need some leisure time and I decide to play chess when I have a spare moment, it relaxes me and takes my mind off the stressful parts of my day.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy watching me destroy six opponents in a row!

This is a teaser video of the whole show, so hopefully this is enough to make you want to join us this week :D

Last Friday @l337m45732 and I went in on our weekly rambling and chill and we happened to come up with an idea that could take Hive and NFTs to the next level by enabling *normies* to interact on their own simple way using a dapp without even knowing they are using blockchain technology and crypto to do it.

If you want to hear about these crazy ideas live, join us every Friday at 22:30 EST!

I didn't play amazingly, in fact I made a few blunders - including that bongcloud on move 4 - but since my opponent went Berserk and my time management was pretty on point, I managed to put him against the ropes and generate enough counterplay to make him lose on time.

But, let it be known that even if we had time increments, the positional and piece advantage I had in the end would've allowed me to convert the match into a win either way.

I mean, that's what a player gets when they disrespect a player with a similar ELO rating by going berserk. Had he played under normal time circumstances perhaps he would've beaten me easily, who knows.
