Isichess did not play all 3 first place finishers, it's completely irrelevant how strong Isichess is. This method removes the problem that if you are unlucky (having to play against a weak opponent), this may cause you to lose the tournament because of a lower SOP/SB score. Actually, if this method hadn't been used, the tournament director would have basically appointed the winner, since the last round pairing had to be done manually. Nobody would have accepted that. -- GCP
