"Newcomer - 2017. Winter"

The illusion of a lack of interest arose only because of a few irresponsible players who disregarded deadlines in other tournaments (Prince – he withdrew from many tournaments and disappeared; yan_vas; Georg; and the suddenly appearing, and just as suddenly disappearing, Citizen). Perhaps some kind of sanctions should be applied to them, rather than canceling the tournament.
Many people participated in this tournament for beginners. It seems that even more people participated than in the previous one.
