Hi Graham,

I wonder why you want to wait and rerun all your 'oddball' openings
at the end of the tourney?
Every day you add more of those games and you have to rerun more of them,
which means you waste still more and more of your valuable CPU-time.
Moreover your standings become screwed up more and more too.
Until now I see already more than 70! (may be even 80-90) games
which have really odd/bad 'openings'.
