I'm getting ready to assign games for the third round. So that I'm clear on what I'm doing, I'll write out everything here first.

AJAX ORTHODOX CHESS

With Joe and Sam gone, we have five winners and three losers from the first round. So one pairing is of a winner vs. a loser (myself). For the next round:

Jose Carrillo (White) vs. Carlos Cetina (Black)
Thomas McElmurry (White) vs. Vitya Makov (Black)
Fergus Duniho (White) vs. Armin Liebhart (Black)
Je Ju (White) vs. Nicholas Wolff (Black)

EUCHESS

With Joe and Sam gone, we have three winners and five losers from the first round. So one pairing is a winner vs. a loser. For the next round:

Vitya Makov (White) vs. Carlos Cetina (Black)
Thomas McElmurry (White) vs. Jose Carillo (Black)
Armin Liebhart (White) vs. Je Ju (Black)
Nicholas Wolff (White) vs. Fergus Duniho (Black)

EURASIAN CHESS

One game was drawn, and with Joe and Sam gone, we have four winners and two losers from the first round. So all the winners get paired with winners, and those who lost get paired with those who drew.

Carlos Cetina (White) vs. Fergus Duniho (Black)
Jose Carillo (White) vs. Vitya Makov (Black)
Je Ju (White) vs. Thomas McElmurry (Black)
Nicholas Wolff (White) vs. Armin Liebhart (Black)

These are arranged so that no one plays the same color in all three games, but they are not arranged so that between this and the first round, each players has each side three times. Where a loser plays a winner or a drawer, the loser gets the advantage of playing White this round.
