Anybody plans to participate in the 2015 WCCC?

When is it? Travel stipends? Link?

Have there been any changes to the rules to make it more attractive to the top ten engines? If not, it might become another historically irrelevant match between Junior and Hiarcs.

Here's the link:

There are no more information than the period: 30 june - 6 july.

It could be interesting to partecipate, but me too i'm waiting to know more details.

I will go to the event, of course. But I probabably will not participate in the WCCC, as this is usually impossible to combine with the other tournaments.

In fact it is not clear to me the difference between WCCC, WCSC and the Olympiad. The ICGA web-site gives no information about that (or are very well hidden).

WCSC is on equal hardware, WCCC is 'bring what you can muster'. The Olympiad is all other games than orthodox Chess.

Speaking of which, when are they going to fill in the games in the ICGA tournament database? The Tilburg and Yokohama chess events are still missing their games.
