pentejr: What's this not #2 that you are talking about? You're top player on the second board. That's seed #2. (Or has it changed and changed back since the beginning of the discussion? lol)

With 1-8, 2-7, Do you think it's fair that the weakest player gets to play the strongest? I'd be very unhappy if that were me!

I don't know how 2nd and further round matches are arranged. I once vaguely investigated it at Vog but it wasn't conclusive. The curiousity with, and utility of, the knowledge was less than the hassle factor in working it out fully. So, without knowing how subsequent rounds work I can't comment on the fairness either way.

Alan: Keep waiting...

Oh, okay then.. I'll point you to something on the site that tells you that that there is a seeding system.
