Yeah, if you're interested in watching the CCT4 games here's what to do:

1. Go to http://www.chessclub.com and download their client program, called
BlitzIn.**
2. Start up blitzin and press the "Connect as guest" button.  You will now be
connected to the chess server.
3. Enter "+ch 64" in the main console window.  This will add channel 64 to the
messages you are seeing.  On ICC channel 64 is the computer chess programming
channel and where most of the traffic for CCT4 will be.
4. The pairings etc... will be announced in 64.  To watch one or more games
simply type "ob (accountname)".  Ob for Observe.  Other useful commands to know
are "whisper", "tell", "kibitz" etc.  Learn more by typing "help (command)" in
the main console window.

Pairings and standings will be on the web at http://www.vrichey.de, I think.
Can anyone confirm this?  There are details on that site about when the rounds
will be held and what programs are involved now.  Hope to see interested
spectators this weekend.

** = You can also use Win/Xboard to connect to ICC.  The site is chessclub.com.
xboard -ics -icshost chessclub.com or something.  See Win/Xboard options for
more details.
