The next world microcomputer chess championship is to be held in
Amsterdam from the 7th - 15th Sept. 1985, possibly in conjunction
with the opening of a new World Trade Centre.
My copy of the provisional draft of the announcement states:
"The participants in the eight-round Swiss style tournament are chess
programs whose playing codes are executed by a single available
one-chip microprocessor and personal computer system, but no bit-slice machines.
Participating teams are expected to bring their own hardware which must be
present in the tournament hall."
I understand that there are two groups of participants
A. Commercial programs (expect about 28 entries) for which the entry fee
   is $500 (US) for each computer, and
B. Amateur programs (expect about 12 entries) for which no entry fee is
   levied.
