Tiebreak

Should Jean Herbert take the tiebreak?

If you look at just the games between tied players on 18 points Jean has 3/3 while the others have 1/3

I think it is anomalous that a 4 way tie doesn't in a player who beaten all other players tied for 1st on score should not end up 1st via tiebreak!

That's why many chess tournament are using Koya over Neustadtl now.

IMO, there's no remotely good system for round robins. I don't think winning reliably against the back of the field is any less of a display of strength than finishing over .500 against the other contenders.

Why even use a tiebreaker? The four of us had 9 wins, we should all win.

Philosophically, I agree with you, Jean Hebert. But I can't avoid wondering the effect that would have on the Egyptian chess gamg.
