It was an oversight in the tidying up I did. The files were actually produced by
the programs as they played (it was a rule of the tournament that each program
must produce a standard PGN file) and I tidied them up and ECO classified them
with Chessbase to help get them up on the ICCA website more quickly. The naff
dates are what the programs wrote. Just be thankful you didn't see the rubbish
they put in the other fields!
