You know, there were about 200 problems for period April – December’2012. So many very good problems, so many famous authors, so many interesting comments, versions!.. Judging of this tournament was a real challenge! And I’m very thankful to N.Shankar Ram for accepting my invitation and for his hard work!
My sincere congratulations to all authors of awarded problems and to all participants! I really wish to see all your problems in the Award! This tournament is very special to me, as it was the first one.. Your contributions, your support have really created Julia’s Fairies! You helped me a lot and motivated me with your activity, and from my side I’d like to motivate you for a new achievements as well. Either you’re in the Award, or not, you’ve done a great job! You always have another chance to win! But I will always enjoy browsing a list of problems’2012 with all the memories, ideas and long comments… / Julia
Please send your comments, correction and objections to the Award until 15th of December, 2013, when the Award becomes Final.
Final Award will have also PDF version to download/print.
Congratulations to the winners! It was a delight to go throgh the award and appreciate again all those delightful problems. Julia and the participating composers/commentators have raised the standard of this website to such a high level that I think some of the lower placed problems would have been prize winners in some other tourneys! Thanks to Shankarram for completing this tough judging task within a year.
Happy to see C.G.S.Narayanan getting commended for his beautiful Superguards problem! I hope this is the first of many superguards problems winning places in regular tourneys in future !
