Right. The ICC / FICS could make a proposal to programmers. I know almost for sure the ICC people want to have the WCCC so perhaps they are also willing to put some energy in new software. >Perhaps an auto-transmission of log data would be worthwhile (at least the pv, >ce, nodes, depth in plies). Such a log file should also indicate the name and author of the program that is playing plus an unique number giving by the TD for every program (participant). That makes it all water proofed. >It does not seem far different from Winboard, so perhaps some extensions could >be added to Winboard itself to fascilitate this. Good. Now if such a system is available it is a goodbye to long traveling, hotels, dragging heavy PC's as we can organize the WCCC ourselves, setup competions and and and. Ed
