In Response To: Swiss format strategy (Fabrice Liardet)

... try harder and harder as you advance to the last rounds because there is more and more tournament equity at stake ...

On average, the amount of equity at stake is the same every round. The difference with the last round is that most of the time you are already eliminated from the tournament. Only on those few times that you do make it to the end is that round worth a lot.
