One being liked and the other being disliked by tournament director?

It would've been indeed appropriate to seed shredder as #1 IMHO. But there is
this fair rule that when at the end of the tournament if you are for example
divided 1st then the money gets divided. So the lower seeding which  means that
unless you win first X games in a row, your first opponent already gives you a
kind of a disadvantage because of his statistically possible lower sum of
opponents, that all is not taken into account when dividing the money.

The winner on buchholz just gets that nice ship with him, but if it's divided
1st or 2nd you simply split the money.

So that kind of removes the seeding problem quite appropriate. By the way i knew
in advance that i would get shredder in round 2 or 3 when yesterday i checked
out the seedings before the tournament, provided diep wouldn't lose a game. I
was so lucky to get white.

Best regards,
Vincent
