26 . I run Windows 7 as user . I created a tournament in the installation directory and JaVaFo ( Swiss Dutch system ) doesn ’ t give me the pairing . It is normal . Create the folder tournament OUT of that directory , like in c :\ myTournaments .

This is due to Java ( JRE ) not having the permission to write the output to the Program folder .

Lets assume the player who came was ' A ' and player who didn ' t came was ' B '. The result was player ' A ' got a point . Again in 6 round player ' A ' was paired with player ' B ' !!!?, and this time also ' B ' was absent . This led to taking away the chance of player ' A ' to actually score a point from a good player . And this was repeated again in 9 round for the third time !!!!!. It was very bizarre and no fairness for the Player ' A '. What was the actual reason for the Bizarre out come ? Is it due to choosing 1F-0F instead of 1-0 , or a software bug ? Can u please clarify this issue in detail .
That behavior is quite normal and a rule for FIDE competition see D . 2 of this document http :// www . fide . com / fide / handbook . html ? id = 84 & view = article This is because it was an unplayed game and that players never played each other .
