Suppose players 2500elo and 2600elo have each 5 pts out of 5 in a tournament and
they are to play each other in round 6. And suppose player 2500elo has had white
2 times so far, and player 2600elo has had white 3 times so far. So who gets
white in their 6th round match against each other? 2500elo who has only had
white 2 times, or 2600elo who has the higher rating?
