Btw a new other tourney started...  With the highest ranked Top 8 books which is under more serious cond.e.g  Playing at Blitz TC (2m+1s), 8 Core/Game, Ponder ON, 2048 MB hash etc.  Min. 300 games (per book) will be played..let's see what will be influences?  And frankly it's a mystery what will be next Blitz results, because any Book  Performance depends on used cond. anyhow Good Luck to Top 8 players!  Meanwhile, book registrations are already closed and all played games will  Be shared after the end of Blitz tour and very soon I hope to organize more  Book tours too..you know, SCCT is as factory of organizing series of CS !)  And all in very short of time.. and the most important with so many games!  Meanwhile, for my previous postings regarding current competitions: News
