It seems that swissperfect does not try to do the pairing according to the
rules.

It seems to have a strange rule that the players that were white in the last
round must be black in the next round.

It does not understand that a difference of 2 between white and black is
acceptable.

My point of Fritz against Crafty idea was not to please spectators but to
suggest that there may be a better pairing(smaller difference between the points
of the players) even if we assume that the program who play white must play
black the next round.
