Here's the beginning of the file, where it's not obvious to me how to distinguish elements in the "::" section from the rest of the file. :: Judge: USDP Game: dip Variant: standard :: Deadline: F1901M Mon 20 Feb 2006 20:00 PST :: URL: http://www.diplom.org/dpjudge?game=dip Movement results for Fall of 1901.
