Breaking News - 02.12.2023:
A BIG update: 16 entries...5 of them managed to qualify in Super League
So far, if checking overall stats: 36% of the books are managed to qualify!
And if I'm not wrong, 5 of the qualified books are public ..not bad indeed...
In same time that means, it's a very hard tour for sure but as I said before:
A well-tuned...updated book has much more chances to pass 3800+ Elo !
Sure sometimes LUCK is required, but there are such great books, where
Luck plays less importance, in other words I can summarize over this issue:
If strong opening lines less luck needed..If weak lines more luck is needed...
A few words about the latest entries, Taram is a public one by Cevdet Sari
Xperimental is private one by Angel Morano, DON Hercules W private too,
Which is based on only wins...but it is tuned to prefer all DON book's wins..
Note that I did not touch the current tours wins (based on previous DON wins)
Beast is private one by Olivier Charles, Yorubaupdate is public, Africaata is
Private one, but both are created by Jorge Centelles, Globe is private one
By Ian Hurnavich, about rest entries: I think that it's not required, I assume
You know... but if you are not aware . just do not hesitate to ask, contact..
What I can say more, now waiting Me a lot of job.. because many qualified
Participants have to be played in Super League but since today my 1st job
Will be to run/resume SL tour so please stay tuned because in next update,
1st Champs will be announced...Btw, I'm very excited..I assume you too ?)

Again GRENDEL book is in CTG format ?)

Breaking News - 03.12.2023:
Again and again 7 (seven) entries..as you may know 7 is a lucky number !)
Let Me say please a few words about the performances, Mr. Roger's books
Are quite frequent book participants..and often become as Leading ones!
As same words are going to Mr. Cevdet's books, sure we should not forget
To mention there are many other Top book authors, who are one of best too!
And I'm not going to count who.. because I may miss to mention, but many...
But this is also true that, as usually
We see same Top authors to be Number ONE, what about new incomers ?)
I am perfectly aware of that too... sooner or later...we will see other Winners
If not in this book Championship in the next one/s, right ?)
Btw, Today is a special day, it's time to announce the 1st Book Champions:

Prıvate Book Champion ORIONPAX - Congrats to Roger Constantinesco!

Breaking News - 03.12.2023:
Another BIG update, 20 entries, where this time one book is managed...
And the name of the qualified book is Goddess, just great performance!
Sure, many of the latest entries are quite old-dated...so no BIG surprise..
But if we are going to compare the latest new releases, mostly managed
To qualify or very close to the barrier of 3800 Elo so nothing strange here!
Note also that registrations are already closed..because after the test of
Goddess book (in SL) the Championship is going to be ended very soon..
And please stay tuned..in next hours SL's FINAL standings will be shared!

Second League Champion GODDESS - Congratulations to Olivier Charles!
Congrats to all qualified authors too, unfortunately some were not so lucky..
