"Новичок-2012. Winter"

When I started playing the first Novice tournament, it was winter of 2010, and Cash was running it (taking this opportunity to thank Cash for that tournament, and sending greetings to everyone who knows me:smile54:). The tournament included players who also had titles (the best player for Conflux:eek:), and everyone was betting on her, but she still didn't win the tournament:D. There's always a lot of talk about how things are, and that there's no point in playing because "daddies" are here:smile14:, and that some newbie will win the tournament again. If I'm wrong, correct me, in which tournament did a clear favorite win against a newbie? As for how many people play Novice, that's everyone's business, but it doesn't seem very respectable to always play Novice:smile31:.
