------------------------------------------------------
*Top 50 Books,based on previous SCCT Book Tournaments
------------------------------------------------------

Some Notes:
------------
-It's planning to be tested aprox.TOP 25-30 Opening Books
-If the number of the registrations is more than 25-30 books:
a)There will be exception only for well-known TOP Book Authors or for some Top PlayChess Players
b)Who are bellow than SCCT's 30 places or for new Incomers:
-Unfortunately...i don't want to promise,it will depend on my free time

More Details:
-------------
*Why i am considering to change the conditions for the next SCCT IX Book Tournament:
-It's very hard to organize a huge book tour,especially,if the total number is more than 40-50 books
A little note:Only for current SCCT VIII Book Tour,i have spent many hand efforts (more than 20 days)

More Information Coming Soon !

Thanks for your understanding...

Best Regards,
Sedat Canbaz

New Update:
------------
I have a new project for the future (after SCCT IX) i am planning to change the current conditions
So i think for the next SCCT X Book Tournament to create a SuperLeague,it will be based on SCCT IX's Top Strongest 20 Books
In other words,the registrations will be not open for all,i plan to select only the TOP 20 Ranks of SCCT IX Standings

*Attention:
-Currently i am looking for Assistant Tester,who will run a Second League,
where i can include the Second League's TOP Strongest 3 Books for the next SCCT X SuperLeague
Note:the Assistant Tester should be NON-SCCT Book Author (due to not loosing the neutrality/independence)

More SCCT IX Registrations,which will be allowed also for:

------------------------------------------------------
Opening Book         Book Author             Country
------------------------------------------------------
Atlantis             Oleg Uskov              Ukraine
Istanbul             Mustafa Gül             Turkey          
King                 Aleksander Bilinski     Ukraine
Sequoia              Nick Carlin             England
TopTier              Audy Arandela           USA
ZeeMan               Sergei Krets            Russia

BTW,actually i can make exception for some TOP Playchess/Flyordie/RPC/Testo Players
But for clarification about their books performance i need data (games) !

Best Wishes,
Sedat

*Attention (after SCCT IX):
-Guido.M (the Tournament Director of Testo-Book Tours) is planning to be the Assistant Tester for Second League
-Guido.M (Testo-Book Tours) will run a Second League,it will be based on 20 Opening Books
-Only the TOP Strongest 3 Books of Second League's will qualify for the next SCCT X Super League
-SCCT Super League's last places:18,19,20 ranks will be replaced to Second League
Note:in case of more than 20 registrations for Second League,then we need to find another Tester,who will run Third League

Best Wishes,
Sedat

There were some questions about the next SCCT/Testo Leagues,so i decided to post here too

First of all,there will be a new SCCT IX Book Tournament (expected registrations approx.30-40 books)

And after that tour (when the SCCT IX book competition is over),its planning to be created 2 Leagues:

1.SCCT I Super League (Tournament Manager:Sedat Canbaz)=it will be based on SCCT IX's Top Strongest 20 Books
*That means,the Authors of SCCT IX's Strogest Top 20 Books will qualify to play in SCCT X Super League
*In other words,the Authors of between 1-20 Places should make their registrations to me (Sedat Canbaz)

2.Testo I Second League (Tournament Manager:Guido.M)=it will be based on SCCT IX's Standings between 21-40 Places
*The Authors of between 21-40 Places should make their registrations to Testo I Second League (Guido.M)

Later...we hope to run/continue more SCCT/Testo Book Leagues

For example,SCCT II Super League will be always based on Top 20 Strongest books
*Note: The last places of SCCT I Super League:18,19,20 will be replaced to play in Testo Second II League

Some Notes about Testo Book Tournaments/Guido:
------------------------------------------------
-Guido is the Tournament Manager of Testo Book Tours
-Experienced/Trusted Tester,where he organized several successful Book Tournaments
-Guido is also a Moderator in Chess2U (Ahmed) forum:
http://www.chess2u.com/

And i hope the SCCT Book Authors will agree/support our new project and will make registrations as before

Best Regards,
Sedat
