:) clearly a few PCs doing this

I was thinking you can probably predict which are 'big ones' and which are
'small ones'.

Probably the number of pieces on the board, or how close to mate or something.
Or even a perft3 or perft4 calc might give an indicator. And you might be able
to break these positions out again, instead of say giving a 'big one' out as
perft8, break it down one more move, and give it out as perft7 from the server.

just an idea
