Typically, Swiss tournaments will have an odd number off rounds. I think the
main reason is, that with an odd number of rounds, one can always have pairings,
that guarantee that number of white and black games will always only differ by
one for each opponent. With even number of rounds, there will (in general) be
some engines that have n+2 white games and n black games.
