Hi, >I don't get it why wouldn't they just give computer account to programmers who >are running their own creations. They have 1500 new human accounts every month, >so what is a couple of computer accounts compared with that? That _is_ the policy. Anyone with an original account was an automatic approval when I was in charge. Please note that "original account" does _not_ include somebody who fiddled with the Crafty evaluation a bit and called it their own program, and other such things. One area where FICS is fairly short where chances of getting an account (even if it's not original) are in the low rating sections. Shortly before I resigned the position, I added 2 accounts, fake and flak, which since then have each played over 4,000 games. If the author of a program applied for an account, rest assured that they would get it. (delays in processing the applications aside) Regards, Adrien.
