You just came up with an excellent idea.  First you need to post the position
that you want us the CCC club fans to analyze and also mention what programs you
want to participate in the analysis, and what is the minimum hardware required
to participate. Everyone who meet this criteria can start the analysis
after you post the position and reply to your message the next day.

PS: How many of you are willing to participate, I have several programs, but I
would like to analyse with either Junior 6.0 or Nimzo 8.
