Back in 1997 I made a $1000 bet with John Tromp that he wouldn't be beaten my a computer before 2011. I've made a page to publicize the bet: http://dcook.org/gobet/
I hope it is accessible beyond just the experts on this list, and can help bring some publicity for computer go generally. So please link to this page, blog about it, tell your friends, etc. (I'm hoping to have a Japanese translation soon; I'll announce that when it is ready.) >From that page you can also vote with your opinion (and then leave a comment) on who you think will win the bet, and also when you think a computer program will beat the world champion.
