No ... I'm excluding them because it is my understanding that the "tournament"
feature of ExaChess was introduced in the version 2.0 interface, and the
latter two are not compatible with that. With the "tournament" feature,
I can run a 100 game match unattended. Without it, I have to start each game
manually. Too much trouble, for me.
