Since this CCC computer chess bulletin board is used by many accomplished computer programmers, it is quite likely that some here have the ability to create software to take the place of Blitzin. That is fine, but if the program used thwarts ICC's ability to monitor usage of chess-playing software while playing games, then you can be sure that ICC will be non-cooperative. Keep in mind that ICC management is paranoid in the extreme when it comes to what they call "cheating." Bob D.
