2016 Winter Tournament: "Frozen Heart"

In my opinion, the Swiss system was exactly what was needed. There was enough time to make moves and wait for the slower players, and the intrigue lasted until the very end of the tournament. I personally enjoyed playing, except for the game against GL (which I started in a tense state), who disappeared, and as it turned out today (when I received a bunch of messages for the past week), his ICQ was malfunctioning. My public apologies to Boris for any harsh words in the chat.

There are many drawbacks, both in terms of organization and for the players.
The strict schedule – one game per week – is inconvenient for many.
The dynamic players ruin the whole picture, and there turned out to be quite a few of them.
The number of rounds should be 5-6 with this number of participants, but that's not enough games.
But I've come up with what I think is an optimal scheme for future tournaments; I suggest testing it in the spring!
Kirill, let's discuss it here; I don't think it's worth creating a separate thread for this, especially since we're talking about a related tournament
