For us amateur chess programmers, I thought it might be a fun idea to have a bit of organized competition, other than tournaments. To that end, I propose the formation of the "Under 2600 Club," <:) which would recognize the achievement and standing of its members as determined by ICC blitz rating. This club is fairly unique, since the main goal of its members is to escape. Should that happen, all due recognition and reward will be bestowed, whatever that might be. And so, I nominate myself as permanent chairman ;) and stat- keeper. I might mention at the outset that I chose ICC as the forum for this simply because there's more activity there. FICS has better stat functions and features, but that's life. Kind of like the MacOS vs Windows.
