CCC definitely leads to less fights as some lunatic nazi's have gone away lucky. However, commercially seen CCC is the most stupid thing you can do to computerchess. No one can read many of the cool reports here! If you show 24 hours a day football (soccer?) on the dutch television, which happens here, then people love soccer/football. I'm sure that making publicity for computerchess has the same effect, by hiding in a group like this that has gone less of course.
