Yes.  But since I didn't write _that_ program, it isn't that interesting
except for the one game where we played DJ.  :)

It is (to me) absolutely amazing that "the international computer chess
association" can't use a _computer_ to get information out to the public.

One of the major requirements when I write a proposal to the National Science
Foundation is "how am I going to make the results of this research available to
the general public in a way that is both timely and useful?"  That is the
_first_ thing I would want to address in an event that has "World" in the
title.  I remain surprised that this continues to be overlooked, event after
event after event.

I'd bet that the DGT guys would put something together like has been done
for some recent human events, to capture the moves and get the games live on
the internet.  But they have to be asked, I am sure..
