Hi David,
In my opinion FIDE uses an inferior pairing system to that used in Britain. But I would say that wouldn't I?
Swiss Manager got round 2 of the European Championship wrong. Even though this was spotted they went ahead with the wrong draw anyway as they say they had stated that program would be used. I find it incredible that that was the case. Having examined Swiss Manager I can understand why they wouldn't have wanted to enter the corrected draw into the computer.
Swiss Master is easier to use and produces the output at the Scottish but I have twice had it downfloat two players from a scoregroup rather than change the person who had already floated into that scoregroup from the one above.
Tournament Director is having work done on it. It may become an acceptable alternative.
