Subject: Automating a chess program on ICC

Author: Tom Likens

I have implemented an autoplayer mode for my chess engine on ICC,
but have a question about etiquette.  Once the program logs on it
issues a "seek" command, so far so good.  My question is: when the
command isn't automatically accepted- how often should it "reseek"
(i.e. reissue the seek command)?  There is probably some accepted
etiquette, such as waiting 10 (or 20, 30,...) minutes before issuing
a seek command again [ or maybe the etiquette is *only-once* ].

Anyway, I would be interested in hearing varying opinions.

regards,
