NHK (BBC equivalent in Japan) reported in tonight's 7 o'clock news on national TV channel that "Nihon Kiin will be admitting computer programs to pro tournaments as participants"
*Details are not known at all. It is a common practice for Nihon Kiin to let its sponsors (newspapers, TV / cable channels, etc) scoop valuable news before making formal announcements. For example, Antti* Törmänen's 1p status was reported by Mainichi newspaper a day before Nihon Kiin's announcement on its website. *So let's hope some detail will become available tomorrow.* *Tokumoto*
