But it is a detail amongst many other errors of pairings in this tournament. Rounds 1-4, nothing to say, it was OK. Roud 5 : beginning of mistakes : the SOS and ZChess should have played together (3 programs with 2 points Crafty, SOS and ZChess and all 3 had opponents with other number of points). As they _never_ played together in this tournament, this error may affect the final results (the "amateur" (?) title of SOS for instance). Round 6 : the pairings done by hand by the director has a vague relationship with FIDE rules :-) (but it was better than the pairing done by the software swiss"perfect") Etc.
