A thing that came across my mind: could it be nice to have something like "player of the year" (besides the world champ) or like "best revelation of the year" (for players who joined in the last year)? Based on.some criteria to be defined.

Yes? How could they be selected?

Where can I find the definitive rules for Aluric Foteviken 11x11? I couldn't see any mention of this variant on your web site, and how can you be certain that the balance really is 1.00?

An alternative grouping of the World Champ. tournament. The latest years a grouping of 6 has been used. This gives you 5 opponents and 10 games per round. All players have 10 games and many have 20 games. A grouping of 5 would make it less work to participate. All players would have 8 games and man...

This is my bid for an evaluation of the Championship Tournament 2020: The tournament setup this year was similar to last year. Changes from last year: The champion winner of the year before, if he joins, goes directly to the Final. World Championship not only in the Copenhagen strong king variant, ...

Thank you! Inserted.

Thank you. The color is changed to light sea green.
