It is imposible to balance the colours that way in a swiss system tournament. To
be precise, it is imposible to guarantee the colour balance. Most likely several
players will end with 6 white and 4 black games, and other several with 4 white
and 6 black games. For this reason most swiss system tournaments have an odd
number of rounds.
