When people talk about CCTn tournaments, they mean the Computer Chess
Tournament series that has been running on ICC for the last couple of
years. The next one will be the fourth, hence CCT4.

The dates that Volker is proposing are in December 2001 (the tourney is
sort of every six months). The tournament is restricted to chess program
authors, or their designated operators. In the past, the majority of
participants have been "accompanied" by their programmers. Most programs
run automatically using xboard/winboard or equivalent software.

At the moment, Volker's dates are just proposals; the rules and format for
CCT4 are under active discussion here at the moment.
