Perish the thought. From this I understand that it is only Anthony who can

It is not obvious unless the actual Zappa 2.0b that won is released by Anthony
however that is done. I suppose you could run some analysis and publish it since
you have it, that would be nice. Games, positions, illegal positions.....that
