Dear all, As most of you know, Gifu Challenge was canceled for this year. Instead, there will be a computer go competition held by the Cognitive Science and Entertainment (E&C) Research Station of the University of Electro-communications.
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide prize money for this competition. As with Gifu Challenge, some number of deputy operators will be available, so you can attend the competition even if you cannot come to Tokyo. As we might not be able to provide operators as much as the Gifu Challenge, please contact us early if you require a deputy operator. The announcement follows: ---- Cognitive Science and Entertainment (E&C) Research Station of the University of Electro-communications, are organizing the first Computer Go UEC Cup during December 1-2, 2007 at the east campus of the University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo. Computer Go Forum is the co-organizer. This competition, being planned as a successor of Gifu Challenge, is open to anyone in any country. The aim of the competition is, by serving as a place of technical exchange of international computer Go research, to activate research of computer Go. With this purpose, the winning prize is not money, but a trophy.
