Chess Round Robin: What you need to know
Round robin is the standard format for chess tournaments — every player faces every other player, and the player with the most points at the end wins. The Berger table method (used here) ensures optimal colour distribution: each player gets as close to equal White and Black games as possible.
In a standard 8-player round robin chess tournament, there are 28 games across 7 rounds. Each player plays 7 games — 4 of one colour and 3 of the other (or 3.5/3.5 if the pairing system allows it).
The schedule includes board assignments, colour indicators (W/B) for each game, and is compatible with standard FIDE tournament management software via CSV export.
