Hi Andrew,

Very good idea! I'm in with SpiderChess. My ICC handle is SpiderChessX.

One question: would it be possible to use a small increment (1 sec for example)?
I noticed that my engine loses time - on average about 0,2 sec/move - when it
communicates through WinBoard (apart from the internet-lag which is no problem
because ICC compensates for it).
This becomes problematic in very long games. The engine might lose on time.

IIRC some other engines have the same problem, so perhaps there are more authors
who would like a small increment.

Cheers,
Martin
