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.

authors from recent issues:
