Hello Amir,
it's true, I have forgotten that important point. But after the first round,
the seedings were n°1 Shredder, n°2 Fritz, etc... n°10 (?) SOS
and SOS kept number 10 during the tournament. And this is difficult
to understand, because everybody knew that SOS was a strong
program which deserved a better number. This is another
difficulty of swiss pairings when you have not an official rating
for all players. With human players, it is much easier.
Best regards,
Sylvain
