Me too - but I don't really have the time for that... I could only let them play at night, because two computers running make a significant amount of noise, and I know of at least one woman and two kids who don't like this sound ;-) But 16 or 17 games would take 16 or 17 days then, and I normally need at least one of the machines for testing my own chess engine overnight.
