I have "shown up" to several, but never participated :)

I am not sure if I will participate yet. I really want to, but it will depend
upon circumstances. If the deadline was today I would not enter. It will depend
on a number of things. I must first find the time to reassemble my program to my
liking. I've been fiddling around with various off-beat board representations
lately (combining 0x88 with bitboards, weird 256-bit bitboards, and stuff like
that). The holidays were busier than I had expected, which is bittersweet. Then
I have to see if I can arrange my work schedule so that I have that weekend off
(I work alternating weekends, and I have to attend a wedding the weekend before
CCT6, so I'll have to get someone to cover for me). So, several issues are up in
the air right now.
