Hello Bob,
I hope you are right, but imagine that one of the favorites (example: Nimzo)
wins the tournament without having played against one of the top
programs (example: Shredder) ? Impossible? In fact it should be impossible,
but with the pairing program they are using, I would not bet my head :-)
Best regards,
