Just this weekend I played in my first tournament in 10 years: the
1986 Atlanta Winter Congress. There were 63 or so players there,
ranging from unrated to 2583. My rating was a very rusty 1620.
In round 1 I was black against a 2250 rated player and lost.
In round 2 I was white against an unrated player and won.
In round 3 I was black against the 2530 player (bad first game) and lost.
In round 4 I was white against a 1288 rated player and won.
In round 5 I was black against a 1901 rated player and lost.
I feel sort of cheated because I didn't find out a thing about my current
rating (at least as far as I can tell). It's greater than 1300 and less
than 1900. Gee, I knew that before the tournament.
It this sort of thing typical of the Swiss system, or did I just "luck" out?
Is this why everyone hates the Swiss?
