Atomic on GICS (Birthplace of Atomic)

    Atomic was introduced to the ICS world on November 27, 1995 on the German Internet Chess Server.  Needless to say, the birthplace of atomic was on GICS.  And it was on GICS that the infant game found its first years rich with games and players.  The first masters and eekers came into being at GICS.  And the server has endured for the ages, giving us a glimpse into the past as we gaze upon their fingers.

    Those are fingernote files from GICS.  I took the liberty of looking up all the names in the Atomix book to finger them on GICS.  If a name showed up in the book but didn't show up at GICS that means that the missing handle played Atomix at MEWIS or elsewhere.  GICS was the first atomic community as you can well see from a few fingernotes scattered here and there.  But that doesn't mean that it was the best community that the internet had to offer.
