r.g.c.c existed in the 1980's.  Mike Valvo played deep thought a 2-game move
every day or two type match around 1990 or so.  CCC came around 1996, maybe
early 1997.  Steve can probably answer that.  I was playing with the first
version of crafty on what was (at the time) called FICS in December of 1995.  It
later became ICC as we know it today, a couple of years later.  The internet is
a lot older than Al Gore would have you believe.  :)  I had email in 1980 or a
bit earlier if you count the more limited arpanet network run by basically DOD
and DOE.
