Well, look: I have one unfinished game, and Eddie has practically 3, and one of them hasn't even started! :)

Let me play with someone else over the network right from the start of the day until the games are finished – I'll be there on time ;)
Eddie is finishing his game with Preds, and then he'll start a new one with the latecomer who likes to sleep in :smile03:
And I'll finish my started game with him, and then play as a bot (or, as an option, instead of the guests who have left for their hometowns))) but a very mean bot, because I'm not going to give up :smile10:
Unfortunately, it won't be that beautiful. Because we are limited by the Swiss format – if players have played in one of the rounds, they cannot play against each other in another round.

For example, based on the table above, it can be seen that with 6 players who haven't played against each other yet, there are only 4 possible pairings – the rest contradict this condition. Therefore, the attempt to assign pairs based on the principle of "with the one who likes to sleep in" only works in the first rounds. And now, the pairings will most likely be known even before the start of the games.

Bots will also be out of place here because there is an even number of players. The only guest from the capital has already played all 4 rounds.

Therefore, at the moment, it seems to me that the most correct option is this: Eddie finishes his games with Preds and with you, the postponed games. The time and place can be agreed upon via Sticky – so that in case of absence, it is possible to calmly set a timeout. A week and a half should be enough for this. And next weekend, the remaining 3 games of the 4th round will be played.
