Breaking News - 09.09.2022:

Super League is ended...once more, Congrats to all qualified Authors! As usual DON DON DON..16-times as Champ - Best of Best records! And very interesting two Public Champs: 1337Chess + Dark Galactus Note that the same 1337chess vers.once more managed to be Champ! Plus rest, such as Donmez, Chucaro, Everest etc performed very good! Btw, can we say about the Top books performance is just due to luck ? Not of course..and let Me say please this good saying by Colin Powell: Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure ... Sure..sometimes any book can be unlucky, but I think it's quite normal... Note also that one of the main difference of Super League tour is that Here (in this strong League): mainly the TREND openings are preferred.. In 2nd League: many various openings from the past to present played What I can say more, just in case e.g if we will continue to play more Games + playing vs more opponents, Top standings may changed or Perhaps will be not changed, who knows? to be sure, we need to run... But that's all from Me...perhaps in the next: I may organize such tours And for my previous postings regarding current competitions: News
