I agree but it seems that the program's first priority is to give every program the opposite color of the previous round so Fritz and Sos must be white and cannot play one against the other. I think the right name for the program should be colorperfect and not swissperfect. It still seems to me that it is possible to do a better pairing with this restriction(fritz can play Crafty) but I did not check if it is possible to complete Fritz-Crafty to the other games. Uri
