We have a tournament on ICC every 6 months or so.  Last one had 54 programs in
it including Junior and Hiarcs.  Crafty ran on a 4-way opteron and the actual
game log files are available at ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/cct6.log

They are labeled as log.rn where n is the round number, game.rn has the pgn for
round n.  the .po files are for the 4 playoff games to break the 3-way tie for
first place between Crafty, Hiarcs and Zappa.
