Since anytime I am online and someone asks "are you willing to play a few
games against program X?"  Just ask around.  happens all the time.  It also
happens when a GM asks if he can play some 'private' games to test something,
and he doesn't want to use his normal ICC handle as everyone will watch.

That doesn't get you very far.

Just type "+alias kibitz garbage" on ICC and no further kibitzes will
happen.  This is a common trick to prevent my "Hello from Crafty version 17.13"
message from showing up and causing a clone to get noplayed, or so that a
cheater won't get caught as easily.

That was only 4 accounts.  There were several others.  Plus several other
crafty programs that I watch on ICC.

89 here.  50 there. 100 over there.  Doesn't take long to get to "hundreds"
does it?
