		The Sixth Computer Olympiad took place from August 19 to 23, 2001, at Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands in conjunction with the 18th World Microcomputer Chess Championship. The WMCCC and Olympiad were held in Ad Fundum which is located on the base floor of the former Jesuit Convent (Tongersestraat 53), in 2001 home of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of Maastricht University [1]. During the 6th Computer Olympiad a workshop on computer games was held nearby in the building at Tongersestraat 6 [2], organized by Jos Uiterwijk.
