I was looking into a google search someone had made to find my site and I came upon
this from a 1902 tournament in Monte Carlo as reported in the NY Times. It mentioned pairings were "being guided by the Berger tables," as if it were a new thing. Does anyone know anything about the creator of the Berger tables?
TIA
P.S. I asked this same question on the
US Chess website and was told it was
Johann Berger. In his day he was one of the top 20 chess players in the world and co-designed a RR tiebreak system.
