I don't agree with what is being said on board order. Publishing the list in advance gives an advantage to those with the time/dedication and the best games databases/engines to do some preparation. What about those who do not have the time or desire to do any pre-game prep?
I think you are under the impression that some teams change board order to give themselves an advantage, which may be the case with some teams, however I can say the only reason I would switch order would be to avoid computer prep, certainly never to give myself an advantage!
Computers have not been good for chess, let the best player win, not the one with the best computer.
