Bob:

I find your most recent post very puzzling.

Dear members:

Over the past few months the Executive and the Executive Director, Bob Gillanders, have tried to come to an agreement over compensation. Regrettably, no agreement could be reached....

What did the author of the program, Thad Suits, say when you brought these issues to his attention?

Bob, your assumptions are incorrect. Consequently, your observations are inaccurate.

I'm really excited to be playing in my first weekend swiss in 26 years!

I asked Thad, who created SwissSys, about the FIDE issue and this is his replay.

The webzine needs to be easier to use. Any suggestions?

Tony: Outputting FIDE crosstables is already a feature of Version 8. Check the utilities.

You can also use FIDE pairing rules. Just check the pairing rules dialog

Are you using the up-to-date...

Please provide your suggestions for improving SwissSys and I will forward the suggestions to the prorammers periodically.

Hi Eugen-- I think you misunderstand the heading of my last message. "No one is as smart as everyone" implies that we want as much input as possible.

My personal feeling is that time is running...
