Ok... let's force the color difference to zero as a requirement for round 10. So
_everybody_ would have played 5 games with white and 5 games with black after
the following feasible seeding

1. Falcon           - Shredder
2. Movei            - Junior
3. Fritz            - Diep
4. Crafty           - The Crazy Bishop
5. IsiChess         - Deep Sjeng
6. Jonny            - Woodpusher 1997
7. FIBChess         - ParSOS

Looks even nicer in my eyes :-)

IMHO tournament software of Ramat Gan has to be substituted for WCCC 2005
because it seems to be _very_ unsuitable for small tournaments with many rounds
like the WCCC 2004. Perhaps the chosen software is ok for large opens but for
Ramat Gan it wasn't feasible.
