I understand that when the tournament organizer is also a participant, the situation is delicate, as there is always a risk of being accused of bias and lobbying for one's own tournament interests. What advice can I give? It's not my area of expertise; there's an arbitration committee for that. Dear Volodymir, I have only one piece of advice (not specifically for this situation, but in general): in a group tournament, you shouldn't prioritize the number of actual games played when the scores are equal, because imagine this: I have 4 wins (actual games), another participant has 3, and there's one game left between us. Is there any point for me to play it? And I wish you the best in reaching an agreement with Andrey; I think it will work out. IMHO.
Всем удачи ! И Морали !
