Posted by timothy on from the what-about-computer-speed-chess dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "The 4th computer chess tournament is being held online at Internet Chess Club over the next two weekends. Over 50 chess programs are involved, from commercial engines to amateur homebrews. Most will be operated by their authors. Details at CCT4 homepage. Last tournament (CCT3) there was live commentary by titled human chess masters. If you're a fan of chess or computer chess programming, login to ICC this weekend as a guest and watch the action."

    ..While we get the content for free, Slashdot is not a free service. It just so happens that our contribution is not directly pecuniary.
