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."

    Check out the most amazing Slashdot phenomenon ever! Rapidly approaching 500 comments ... Not on a frontpage article, on a short post! Insightful comments at -1, interesting comments at -1, funny comments at -1 ... They climb slowly as regular moderators mod them up, then they slam down all at once, then climb slowly again, then slam down, over and over again.


    Something is breaking Slashdot, tearing it down before our very eyes ... and it looks like it's the editors themselves who are doing it! And the initial post isn't even very convincing in my opinion, I disagreed and felt that it wasn't important. There are flaws in the moderation system, so? Don't we all know that? The editors must be absolutely crazy to do this! What will happen to confidence in /. as an open and free discussion forum?

      I approve most heartily! Of course, copy it as much as you like! Thanks!

      I'm asking myself whether to sacrifice what karma I've managed to collect. This thing should be noticed! Posting at +1 is more noticeable -- but of course it gets costly.

      I care about Slashdot. There are several things that I disagree with and a few that I dislike, but still I care. Slashdot is special. What's happening now is tragic.
