- It seems that the newsgroup has recently seen more than the usual
- number of posts by new or potential chess programmers. Therefore, I
- am posting, once again, the ICCA notice:
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ICCA: International Computer Chess Association
-
- Revised: 1992.12.30
-
- The ICCA (International Computer Chess Association) is a world wide
- group founded in the 1970s for the purpose of discussion and
- advancement of computer chess activities. Membership is open to all
- who have a sincere interest in the development of computer chess. A
- membership includes a subscription to a technical research quarterly,
- the English language _ICCA Journal_. The _Journal_ contains research
- articles, abstracts, reviews, conference announcements, tournament
- news, current computer chess ratings, FIDE news relating to computer
- chess, editorials, and an occasional cartoon. It is non-commercial
- and has about sixty pages per issue. Some back issues are also
- available.
-
- There are currently about 600 members which probably include all of
- the active researchers and program authors in the field.
-
- For United States and Canadian members, the annual membership fee (for
- 1992) is US$30. Readers in other locations pay (for 1992) Hfl.
- 50.-- (or the equivalent). All subcription orders are to be sent to:
-
- ICCA Europe
- c/o Prof. dr. H. J. van den Herik
- PO Box 616, 6200 MD Maastrict
- The Netherlands
-
- The ICCA requests that those paying with other than US$ or Hfl. add an
- extra 20% to cover bank fees and conversion costs.
-

- [I don't know what the 1993 rates are, but I personally always add an
- extra few dollars above the prior rate, just to be sure. -- sje]
