Apparently there is uproar in Namibian chess circles after the Swiss Perfect Pairing Program "appointed Werner Tjipueja as winner over national champion Charles Eichab" in the Dr Kehat Beukes Memorial Tournament in Windhoek. The full story describing the "shock announcement" can be found here.
Now while I am an ocean away from the events described, I suspect that the two players tied for first, the organisers then declared Tjipueja winner on tie-break, and the journalist writing the story had no idea what really happened.
Of course this will probably go into the ether as another "Swiss Perfect gets it wrong" data point.
