You are right, the format stank.  I just thought they were interesting because
they were so distant (the one above is 87 ply off, for instance).  Some of them
did have significant node crunching, as evidenced by the high acn. [Not this one
obviously with only 990].

In the future I will try to format better and explain the reasoning behind the
posts more thoroughly.
