The reason why I brought up the topic of CCT is that I'm thinking about
organizing a different computer chess tourney on 'another' server.  And was
going to offer a small prize or two.  Actually, it'll be a book prize... a
paperback edition of Computer Chess Compendium by David Levy, a compilation of
papers on computer chess from Shannon's work up to mid-80s.

Since CCT is normally held at the start of the year, I think I'll try for a
summer event.

Good idea?
