It's surprising that there is such little interest among the most successful players from the leaderboard, with just two players from the TOP 12 participating. Although I shouldn't be too surprised, it's often similar with many national and continental chess championships.

Indeed! I was surprised myself, However some of them are retired from the variant, and no-longer play any events. They are kept on the leaderboard as a reminder of their involvement in the variants growth and helpful nature to the community :)

We've also struggled to get intermediate horde players excited for events before, so I am very happy to see how many we have for this one!

#1, #8, and #11 No-longer play the variant, a few others are fairly inactive :-)
