The home is ours; the credit for gathering people goes to the
original Founders as well as all of the members who use this
forum for the exchange of computer chess ideas and not personal
vendettas.

The threads themselves are the attraction. Even though you do not
see posts from them, there are many other very famous chess programmers
who are CCC members. You can be sure they are monitoring the club
on a regular basis too.
