Isn't this a bit of a false dichotomy? Thankfully, the ICGA Journal
doesn't restrict authors to put up preprints on their homepages - I'd
never have published in any journal personally if I couldn't also
circulate my paper among the community, in the case of Computer Go
via this mailing list - I think they are doing this reasonably right
(of course completely open access would be even better but...).
(I'm not sure what their stance towards archiving on arxiv is, but
I don't consider that so critical personally.)
I personally think you will meet much more resistance during the
publishing process in TCIAIG than in ICGAJ - more, and possibly more
critical/demanding reviews. This is definitely a good thing, especially
if your academic circumstances don't depend on getting the thing
published. So my personal strategy would be probably aiming at TCIAIG
but if it doesn't work out (obviously not because the result is wrong
but perhaps just not great/novel/useful enough for their standards),
resubmit to ICGAJ - though I guess Ingo will not be excited to read
this. :-)
