Chess Software
One of my many jobs next year is to run the back end of the UCDS Chess tournament. Here are some notes on programs to do that. We currently use a very ancient DOS program to do it. Here are some more modern versions. I’ve tried the first and the last and they are much nicer to use.
| Title | OS | License | Comments |
| Swiss Perfect |
Windows 95/98 |
Shareware | Swiss Perfect is a Windows application for conducting board games. It copes with FIDE and USCF Swiss and Standard and Rutsch (carousel) Round-Robin pairing systems. It can handle up to 1000 players and 60 rounds. A good fully configurable program for your tournament needs. |
| Swiss Perfect 2.4 for DOS |
DOS | Free | An old DOS version of Swiss Perfect. |
| Windows TD |
Windows | Shareware | Chess Tournament Pairing Program for Swiss System and Round Robin Tournaments |
