Changes

I won't post the Inactive List anymore, but I'll keep those programs in the
file and re-list them once they become active.  It takes a few consecutive
weeks of inactivity to be dropped from the main list.

Notable

TDChess and ZChess share the top spot this week.  TDChess was the most active.
All of the active programs (except one) showed a rating increase this week,
folks must be very busy improving their code.  And, there's no truth to the
rumor that it was me who shut down ICC today, in an attempt to wipe out last
week's games. :)

Hossa recorded a new personal high, 2580.  Steffen has been making various
improvements, and working on the endgame.


u2600 Position of the Week

The following position is from the game PostModernist - Amateur, played this
week on fics or ICC.  PM makes an interesting move, Bf5, which appears
pretty speculative, but seems to me to be the best move.  No program I have
tested will play it.  Question -- is it the best move, and if so, how did
PM come to play it?
