www.playchess.to offers computer chess e-mails games tournaments for anyone who
is interested.  I don't see the benefit of having chess engines playing against
each other, it would be better if it was Advanced Chess Correspondence games
where the human players are allowed to select the moves if he/she thinks that
the move choosen by the engine is not the best.  ACC would be much more
interesting.
