Why is Thomas Snyder named as 'Snyder' if all others are named with their 1st names?
Why not enter all surnames too? (I dont think it requires too much space)

Or maybe you can keep it as:
Thomas S, Jason Z, Jakub O, Nikola Z, Rishi P, Rakesh R, etc.

But I would still prefer with the surname.

I think that's a valid point. The tester name can be displayed after/with the author.

Updated HP results.

Given that WPC is coming up soon, Sudoku Tests take a break now. The next Sudoku test is planned around early November.

Also, we are planning to have 2 puzzle tests in October. Most likely on 9th and 16th. Details will be updated in the forum as soon as we have more information.

I think I should take time to solve quietly some puzzles before doing puzzles tournament, as I did with sudoku. At the beginning, it doesn't help to have time pressure. I need time to really understand logic of each puzzle. there aren't lot of puzzles with which I'm quite comfortable to try to be fast on solving (sudoku of course, kakuro, skyscrapers... all these things that looks like sudoku

)
But the problem is: when I have time, I prefer doing sudoku rather than other puzzles

Yes, but don't worry, chess knowledge or experience doesn't need to solve puzzles. It is enough to know the movement of pieces, and I think that everyone knows.

its still a better idea to put 0 scores particepant in the final results,it gives at least a sense of participation and improve up.

Yep... it seems like yesterday, but we have completed 12 Sudokus and 12 puzzles tests excluding the national championships.

Thanks to all participants for making the tests more and more competitive as months pass by.
