GRRRR :-) Similar to a few emails shared with the winboard guys ... if you don't understand it don't mess with it ( sorry pete , as name nephew I hope you don't misunderstand ) PGNRES sorts players with even scores alphabetically , so at the moment AnMon seems to be the most promising name . The only sane thing to do in a Suiss tournament is Buchholz ( or as called in Tom Kerrigan's posts SOP ( = Sum of Points of the opponents ) ; trying Sonneborn-Berger or something similar will mess everything up . If you don't believe me ( which sounds sensible :look up the FIDE rules here . I repeat a little example I recently used in email Program A : loses against Crafty , loses against Junior , wins against Chop Program B : loses TSCP , loses against Averno , wins against Chop thinking about it in a tournament performance way program A did better while the alphabetical thing is even worse when you think about programs like ZZZZZZ :-)
