Hi there,

Having been greatly inspired by CCT3, and with my chess engine (Blikskottel)
getting to the point where it sort of plays chess, and having heard the same
offer, I decided to try it out. I applied as per the procedures etc, and got a
message back from the Computers people at ICC saying "sorry you don't have a
paid account" :(

I also applied for a computer account at FICS about 2 weeks ago, and haven't had
any response yet. This is greatly frustrating, as I am really keen on getting
some tests in. And my wife is upset enough at the time I spend on this hobby
*without* me suggesting spending $$$ on subscriptions ;)

Anybody given thought to a dedicated "style 12"-compatible server for hosting
tournaments like CCT?

Cheers
Adam
