Until the last match, they all played 40 games. Two programs had to play the
next match and that's why now they have 60. In the end, all programs will have
played 120 games. This is how I plan to play the rest of the tournament.

N732-RT
J6-Cent
RT-S4
H732-N732
F6-J6
Cent-N732
F6-S4
RT-J6
Cent-H732
N732-S4
H732-J6
F6-RT

I keep delaying the matches Tiger-Junior-Fritz as much as possible.
