I don't remember what the deal was with that contest.  Do they give you a pat on
the back if you guess right?  I just looked around their site and didn't dig
anything up.  But for those interested, they do seem to be a source for pgn of
the games.  So several people seemed to have stepped forward and offered the
games for download by now.
