I have no idea about which personalities to suggest for the tournament, other
than, perhaps, the Josh Age 12 Strength 100 personality that I mentioned offhand
two years ago. But I could donate SOME CPU time to this huge task. I would
think, though, that you will have no problem limiting the field to 50
personalities.

Even 50 personalities will take a VERY long time to produce any kind of
reasonable result. A 50 personality round-robin is 1225 games. At tournament
time controls, that's going to be a year-long project even if you get a dozen
people to regularly play the games.
