Well, it looks like XXXX-2 has flown the coop. I include it here to show it's superb performance, reaching the irrefutable rating of 2619. It will not be listed next week, so let's hear a bronx cheer for the dear departed XXXX-2, a wonderful program. See you soon, Martin. Notable This has been a fairly slow week on ICC, due to the holidays. Same with CCC, not much activity. The highest increase for the week goes to SSEChessII, which rose an amazing 137 rating points in only 27 games. Hossa remained the most active, while Amateur fell on hard times (any programming change has a 90% chance of making things worse). New Member TDChess makes its first appearance in the list. A relatively new ICC account, TDChess enters as version 0.1, the successor to KnightCap. TD stands for Temporal Difference, a feedback learning method popular in backgammon. It has been very active this week, improving play significantly. Note Accounts that are inactive for more than three weeks will be shifted to the bottom of the list, and flagged as inactive. ----------- Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
