FUTURE TOURNAMENTS

I learned today about the UEC Cup ( http://jsb.cs.uec.ac.jp/~igo/ eng/ ), a major Computer Go event that is now less than a week away. I wish I had known about it sooner, I would have listed it at http://www.computer-go.info/events/future.html, and maybe rescheduled this Sunday's KGS bot tournament.

How do people find out about these things? I am not aware that the UEC Cup has been mentioned on this mailing list.

Checking the participants, I see that MoGo and CrazyStone were specifically invited. Also playing is a version of GNU Go (presumably), as well as veterans Aya and Katsunari, and two dozen others.

What boggles my mind is the lack of participation in these events from commercial players like KCC Igo, Haruka, Go4++, Handtalk, and Many Faces. Why does the computer Go market not demand the prestige of competing for titles, as has always been the case for computer chess? It is as if the World Computer Chess Championship only had the participation of amateurs and university research teams.
