The ICGA holds a membership meeting every three years. The last meeting was in 2019, but the pandemic resulted in a two-year delay. The ICGA will hold a members meeting in Santiago de Compostela, October 23, alongside the World Computer Chess Championships. We expect to allow members who cannot attend in person to join via Zoom.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the World Computer Chess Championship, we are holding a special event. The Chess History, Experiments, and Search Symposium (CHESS) is inviting many of the pioneers of computer chess to attend this year’s World Computer Chess Championships. Chess programs have gone from 1600 ELO (1974) to 3600 ELO (today), and these pioneers sowed the seeds for this success — a milestone in AI history. At CHESS, we will greet old friends, reminisce about the early days of AI software development, and celebrate the incredible successes that our community has had. This event is only possible through the generous sponsorship of DeepMind.

   Plan to join us in Santiago de Compostela, Spain for a historic celebration of AI and games. The CHESS event will be on October 22 or 23. The World Computer Chess Championships will run October 19-24.

The World Computer Chess Championships will be co-located with ECAI 2024, the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence. This will be the 50th anniversary of a series of tournaments that began in Stockholm, 1974. Coincidentally, this is also the 50th anniversary of ECAI. The WCCCs will be held in beautiful Santiago de Compostela, Spain, October 19-24. Thank you to our generous sponsor, DeepMind.
