View source for Internet Computer Chess Tournament

The '''Internet Computer Chess Tournament''' (abbreviated '''CCT''') has been held annually since 2000 on the [[Internet Chess Club]]. Unlike other computer chess competitions, there are no travel requirements, so there is usually broad participation. The main requirements are that you are a primary author of the entered program and your program can connect and play on the chess server so that the tournament can be fully automated. Tournament format is a Swiss system varying between seven and nine rounds. Time controls used since CCT7 have been 50 minutes with a 3-second increment. The tournament is structured to be completed within a single weekend.
The CCT12 (2010) was held on [[Free Internet Chess Server|FICS]].<ref>[http://www.cctchess.com/ on the official website]</ref>
