X-Prize#
If someone makes a gobot that wins me on best of 5 match (80 40
fischer), I will pay for the programmer €1000 X-prize. Prize will be
in effect for the next 2000 years or when the winner of the
competition has been found. Challenges can be played during European
Go Congress, but I accept them only after successful preliminaries
played on rapid time settings at KGS.

* European Go Congress 2011 is in Bordeaux:
July 23 to August 06. There is a very strong french bot around.
Remi might find sponsors who back him with 1,000 Euro.
* European Go Congress 2012 will be in Bonn (Germany):
July 21 to August 04. There should be German sponsors to
back a programmer with 1,000 Euro.

X-Prize means that it's a prize, not a wager.
So the bot side isn't risking money.
But the problem seems to me, that with recent bot advances the bot would
be favorite against even a 3 dan.
So to make it interesting, by now you need a 4 dan challenge.
