ICCA’s Future

There are a few specific areas where I hope to be able to achieve concrete progress. I would like to double the membership of the ICCA, from its present figure of around 600 to 1,200 or more. I would like to see official recognition of computer-chess achievements by national chess federations and by FIDE, in the form of the awarding of National Master and FIDE Master titles to the strongest programs. I would like to see much more written about computer chess in the chess magazines. And I want to help create more computer tournaments, so that chess enthusiasts in every country may be able to witness at first hand the progress that is being made in this field.
