This just landed in my mailbox. Anyone who didn't receive a copy and is
interested please contact Shaun.Press@cs.anu.edu.au . This is going to be in
Canberra, Australia. Note that overseas programs can now apply to enter, unlike
previous years.

=================================================

The Australian National University Department of Computer Science is once again
hosting the National Computer Chess Championships (NC3) as part of the ANU Chess
Festival. NC3 has been running in one form or another for 8 years and has been
a significant event on the Australian Chess scene.
Although the event awards the title of Australian Computer Chess Champion the
event is open to programmers from Oceania (FIDE Zone 1.3 ie Australia, New
Zealand, Fiji, PNG etc) plus overseas programmers (at the organisers
discretion).
The dates for this years events are: 15-16 July for competition + 17 July for a
one day computer chess workshop hosted by the ANU Department of Computer
Science. Participation in all these events is free.
At this stage the event is planned to be a 6 round swiss event with the games
being played at 30m+20s inc. Both the format and time limits can change
depending on the needs of the organisers and participants. Programs can either
be located on site at the ANU Department of Computer Science or play remotely
via a chess server that we will be setting up.

What I need at this stage is an indication of interest. A simple reply is all
that is required at this point. More deatils will be sent out shortly.
