Hi, I am Mike Adams known as Mike (formerly adam16mr) on the ICC and adammr on FICS www.freechess.org. This page is intended for the internet chess community. On 1/13/99 I became a (H)elper on the ICC and I was an admin from 11/06/01 to 1/22/06. I ended my tenure as a helper on March 14, 2006. If you see me on the ICC or FICS, feel free to say hi or ask a question. If I am to busy to chat I will try to answer any question you have.

I got a new digital camera and am going to be putting some new pics, some there allready, here www.adam16mr.org/mikes-page.html And this page is 2 pictures of me and my brother Mark shot around the time i was in my last year of high school and first year of college. Not sure on exact dates. http://www.adam16mr.org/fostercity-89-90.html

Before i joined icc in april of 1998, when i first got internet, I had been an active amateur programmer who had one major project to his name, powerout a ball and paddle game. In the game you can go through 24 grids or levels, keeping the ball in the air by bouncing it off your paddle you control with the mouse, and smashing bricks to clear the next level. Some bricks take more than one hit, some will drop down and if you catch the brick you get a power like another ball, an extendend paddle, a lazer to blast the bricks, catch, slow, etc. Its really a bit of history. Started powerout in 1994. More at http://www.adam16mr.org/powerout97.html

I have written a chess program it plays under the handle pulsar, finger pulsar, on ICC. Pulsar is also on FICS, 'finger pulsar' there as well. Its wild counterpart is threechecksbot, finger threechecksbot. And there is strippedpulsar, finger strippedpulsar, which plays atomic. strippedpulsar and playinasec play on FICS as well. A version of pulsar can be downloaded at www.adam16mr.org/pulsar.html.

Some projects i have been involved in recently can be seen at my Projects page. These include Librarybot and two plugins I have written that work with Blitzin 2.
