Preparing for the "Van Kanegem" tournament.

And can someone explain to me why this year's tournament didn't even show any signs of life until forum users started inquiring about its fate?

This is a classic question about "the role of the individual in history."
AlexeyPank left the portal, VDV Forever was very busy and was away, and Alan also significantly reduced his activity on HW some time ago (and, as I think, not only due to lack of time).

Soon! Very soon! In March! an offline tournament "Training before the online tournament" will take place, a unique and very interestingly conceived project.
A speed tournament, the exact dates and other details will be announced later.

The question, the answer to which dismisses many disputes and discussions and demonstrates your position: will the announced tournament be part of
VK-2008 or not?

P.S. If we had titles, like on the Portal, then Luchik should be awarded the title of elven princess - peacemaker, in addition to the mandatory titles of clever and beautiful.
