=History of the Journal=

1977
In 1977 the Computer Chess Newsletter, Issue 1 and 2 were published by Editor Douglas Penrod.

1978
After founding the ICCA during the Second World Computer Chess Championship 1977 in Toronto, the ICCA Newsletter was published three or four times yearly.

Quote by Jaap van den Herik, Editorial of ICGA Journal Vol. 30, No. 1 - March 2007: In 1978 Ben Mittman and Barend Swets started the ICCA Newsletter. It was specialized on chess. Owing to the series of Advances in Computer Chess Conferences, which in 1999 changed to Advances in Computer Games Conferences, the ICCA Journal broadened its scope, too, and published articles on other games. This can be seen as a generalization. As a direct consequence, the Journal was renamed into ICGA Journal.

1983
From the ACM-83 WCCC 1983 booklet __The ICCA__: Established at the Second World Computer Chess Championship in Toronto 1977, the International Computer Chess Association currently has several hundred members. Ben Mittman serves as President and, until just recently, as Editor of the ICCA Newsletter which is published three or four times yearly. The ICCA Journal will appear in its place shortly with refereed papers. Jaap van den Herik has assumed the Editorship. Monroe Newborn and Ken Thompson serve as Vice President and Secretary/Treasurer, respectively. Dues are $10 (U.S.) for one year membership. Interested individuals should write to Ken Thompson, Bell Laboratories, Room 2C, 423 Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974, USA.

1984
From the ACM-84 booklet __The ICCA:__ Established at the Second World Computer Chess Championship in Toronto 1977, the International Computer Chess Association currently has several hundred members. Monty Newborn serves as President; Jaap van den Herik serves as Editor of the __ICCA Journal__ which is published four times yearly. Johann Enroth and William Blanchard serve as Vice-President and Secretary/Treasurer, respectively. Dues are $10 (U.S.) for a one year membership. Interested individuals should write to William Blanchard, 360/253 Blackthorn Lane, Warrenville, Illinois 60555 USA.

1989
From the WCCC 1989 booklet The International Computer Chess Association: : Established at the Second World Computer Chess Championship in Toronto 1977, this international association has about five hundred members from all over the world. It is published four times a year. The international Computer Chess Association (ICCA) is an international organization that represents the computer chess world, not only to the computer science community (such as ACM, IEEE, and IFIP), but also to the world chess federation (FIDE). The most visible benefit of membership is the quarterly ICCA Journal. Each issue contains roughly 60 pages outlining the latest in computer chess research, news, tournament results, book reviews, conferences, games, etc.: something for researchers, chess program hobbyists, and chess players.

Cost: $25 per year. Mail to: Dr. Jonathan Schaeffer Department of Computing Science University of Alberta Edmonton, AB Canada TG6 2H1

1995
Same text as 1989, prices and persons changed. From the WCCC 1995 booklet International Computer Chess Association: : Cost: $36 US per year, 24 UK pounds or 60 Dutch florins

Mail to (for UK and N.America) Don Beal, Dept of Computer Science Queen Mary & Westfield College, Mile End Road, London E1 4NS, UK

(Rest of the world) Prof. dr Van den Herik, University of Limburg, Dept of Computer Science P.O.Box 616, 6200 Maastricht The Netherlands

2000
With the first issue of the new millennium, the ICCA Journal was renamed into the ICGA Journal : For many years, the ICCA Journal occasionally included articles on games other than chess. This has included Backgammon, Othello, Chinese Chess, Shogi, Go, and fundamental issues affecting the programming of all such games. To reflect this increasing interest in other games, the Journal changed its name to the ICGA Journal from Vol.23 No.1 (the first issue of 2000).

However, it took further two and a half years, when the organization renamed from ICCA to ICGA as well, for a broader scope to reflect the more general way in which computer-game capability contributes to Artificial Intelligence and to the human experience of game-playing.

2004
From the current Journal site: : The ICGA Journal appears four times a year. In order to receive the Journals for 2004 you should subscribe as an ICGA member. The (renewal) fee for individual subscribers is US $ 50,-, UK £ 25,- or € 40,-.

2008 From Maastricht to Tilburg
The new home of the ICGA Headquarters, quote from the ICGA Journal Vol. 31, No. 2 - June 2008: As per September 1, 2008 the ICGA Headquarters are moving from Maastricht, the Netherlands to Tilburg, the Netherlands. After 21 years of services to the Maastricht University your Editor has accepted an offer by the Tilburg University that he could not refuse. Together with his close colleague Professor Eric Postma he moves to Tilburg, where he is given the opportunity to lead a brand-new research centre called Tilburg Centre for Creative Computing (TiCC). The research centre will have five full professors, sufficient research money, and the full support of the Tilburg University authorities. The centre will focus on three domains: vision (led by Eric Postma), language (led by Antal van den Bosch), and (serious) gaming (led by Jaap van den Herik, who also acts as Director of the Centre). Many colleague researchers/collaborators from Maastricht will join the new research group at TiCC. Most notably among them is Johanna Hellemons who will continue her work as Editorial Manager in Tilburg.

The news was a shock for Maastricht, Limburg, and the Netherlands. Every respected daily newspaper reported on the transition by Van den Herik and Postma. Here, the most crispy statement came from the Chairman of the VSNU (Verenigde Samenwerkende Nederlandse Universiteiten; the Union of the Collaborative Dutch Universities), Dr. Sijbold Noorda, who straightforwardly expressed his understanding by stating: “Mobility shows spirit”.

Admittedly, a move from Maastricht to Tilburg implies a farewell to some well-known names. Many of them will not escape the scope of our community, but one name does: Tons van den Bosch. Long-time members of the ICGA (previously ICCA) will remember her from the many activities she performed in the years 1990 up to 1997 (see ICCA Journal, Vol. 20, No. 2, p. 70). In 2005, she returned at our institute MICC-IKAT and took up some of her responsibilities for the ICGA. It was if she had never left.

In 2007, Tons van den Bosch and Johanna Hellemons were both instrumental to the success of our ICGA President David Levy. During his public defence for the Doctor’s title they were his paranimfs. Soon after this defence Tons became seriously ill. Currently she is in a phase of strengthening her forces, but she is not expected to resume work soon. The ICGA is grateful to her for all the services delivered and for her enthusiasm to help transforming the members of the ICGA into a society of friends who love research in games and game environments, and who love to meet each other once a year at the Computer Olympiad, the Computer and Games Conference, and at the World Computer Chess Championship.

This year, the meeting of friends will be in Beijing, China. It will be soon (September/October 2008) as is announced in the March issue. The subscription figures at this point in time show that the three ICGA events in Beijing are expected to be the most successful ones of all. Over one hundred people are participating. The world of games will have a golden time in Beijing and the ICGA hopes to reap the fruits from these successful events.

Meanwhile the Editorial team has the pleasure to offer you the June issue of the Journal. Three games received a great deal of attention: Go, Jeopardy Stochastic Games, and Chess. Obviously, nowadays there is no Go publication possible without Monte Carlo. The authors adequately go along with this statement. The second article deals with an interesting generalisation of Can’t Stop, namely Jeopardy Stochastic Games. It can be seen as a completely new area of games research. Analogously, the article on chess is actually on ‘chess and measuring its beauty’. It is not on new chess programming techniques. Finally, it is worthwhile to mention that the proceedings of the CG 2008 are currently with Springer-Verlag. They will be delivered in time – we hope – in China for our Conference, where we will see 24 contributors gathering; they will inform us on their latest findings. Therefore, I hope to see many of you soon in China.

2014 From Tilburg to Leiden
Quote from Jaap van den Herik (2013). From Tilburg to Leiden. ICGA Journal, Vol. 36, No. 4 The ICGA Journal is moving for the fourth time in its existence. This time we move from Tilburg to Leiden.

The reason for the current movement is that your Editor has now taken up a position in the Faculty of Science at Leiden University with the task of helping to establish the Leiden Centre of Data Science. He is pleased to mention that his move is taking place together with Joke Hellemons and Aske Plaat. It means that from January 1, 2014 the ICGA Headquarters are located at LIACS Leiden, the Netherlands. As you all may know Leiden has a rich history and many Noble Prize winners in physics. It is the oldest University city in the Netherlands and also well known for its Faculty of Law. Obviously, we look forward to welcoming our ICGA colleagues in this ancient and beautiful city. Although the ICGA headquarters are moving, the principles and themes of the Journal transcend geography and evolve apace.

The visiting address is: Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS), Snellius Building, Room 164, Niels Bohrweg 1, 2333 CA Leiden, the Netherlands.

2016 Break
Due to the vacancy of the Editor-in-Chief after Jaap van den Herik's retirement end of 2015, the ICGA Journal took a break in 2016. Publication is intended to continue with Volume 39 in 2017 by IOS press, preprints available online for members. Editor-in-Chief will be I-Chen Wu - with the proposal of rotation every two years.
