I like the idea of being rated in that category though, the as Dann labels it
"Total open" category.  I don't see a reason for there not to be a rating, not
unlike a correspondence or online rating, but instead a "Total open" rating,
which I think might correspond to the human playing, but not a rating of the
programs.
