    I feel Swisses are more entertaining to be a part of. But the occasional round robin is nice.

    I didn't know it before I read that..althought there are some variations of swiss system, so It would be perfect if Malvinas could explain it better.

    PD: I think we are just 20, no?

    Seems pretty cut and dry to me. Winners with Winners, losers with losers. Tiebreaks if neccessary. 7 rounds means you play 7 games, unless there is an odd number of players, then you may get a half-point bye. This means that you don't play that round, but you accredited with half a point; just as if you drew.

    I can't believe I had the guts to play the opening I did in a tournament. Probably the most nerve racking of all openings in the game.
