That's the (in)famous "off by one" bug ;)

To stay consistent with Python's range() and slices it's best to always use 
"half-open" intervals which include the lower, but not the upper bound. 

In your case you would keep the start value of 0 and the limit of 10, but 
change the comparison:

rounds = 0
while rounds < 10:
   ...
   rounds += 1
