Certainly you can produce most valuable games by using old programs on slow
hardware. These (now a days) rare games are of high value especially for cc
wizards. So perhaps you can sell them and get money as a compensation.
Please post your games using a random move generator. Ponder on or off makes no
difference. There will be allways someone who is interested in such games.
Keep up the good work!

Bernhard
