The ICCA Journal is a quarterly publication of the International Computer Chess Association. Many of its members are the computer scientists and programmers who work on the chess programs. Others are interested onlookers. At the end of this message is the address to write to for a subscription. Originally, the journal was a rather unremarkable newsletter. Recently it went to a magazine-like, slick layout and is quite a nice publication. To give you a taste of the articles, here are some titles and authors from recent issues: "Using Time Wisely" by R.M. Hyatt (Cray Blitz author) "Mixing Heuristic and Perfect by D.F. Beal Evaluations: Nested Minimax" "Computer Chess: Trick or Treat?" by H.J. van den Herik and J. de Jong-Gierveld "Report on: Third World Micro- by B. Mittman and L. Lindner computer Chess Championship" "The game of chess" by Dr. M.M. Botvinnik "Experience with the second human- by Dr. L. Lindner computer problem test." "The history heuristic" by J. Schaeffer "Knowledge-based move selection by H. Horacek and evaluation to guide the search in chess pawn endings" "An Improvement on the Scout Tree- by A. Reinefeld Search Algorithm" For a 1-year subscription, send $10 to ICCA c/o W. Blanchard Mid-America Federal Saving Bank no. 271971560 Naperville Account no. 600132099.
