I remember starting out at around 1800, and saving all the sources when it would hit various levels, 2000, 2200, 2400, 2600. I've got this large pile of improvements to make, haven't been able to do much of anything for months. But it's great to watch it play the other strong programs, and win occasionally. I'm sure you'll feel the same way. Incidentally, it's a shame some of the other good progs that play on fics aren't available on ICC. There's Heiko Mikala's program, plus jrcp (Insomniac), Fortress, and others. All of these have really improved and are getting strong. Will
