RE: [computer-go] Who's going to the Gifu Challenge?

2007-07-10 Thread David Fotland
I was there in 2005, and KCC Igo and Go Intellect were there.

Ogaki is very nice, but a little tricky to get to by train.

I ripped up the full board search and rewrote it last year so I'll only go
if I can get it stable and stronger by then.

  From what I can tell, there has not been a clash of the Go titans  
 since the 2003 Gifu Challenge, which had all of KCC Igo, Haruka, Go+ 
 +, Goemate/Handtalk, Many Faces, GNU Go, and Go Intellect
 participating. (This was the last public competition for many of  
 these programs.) It seems with the tuning of MoGo and CrazyStone for  
 the full size board and their recent success at the Olympiad, that  
 there is a chance to knock KCC Igo (sold as Silver Star in Japan)  
 from its four year throne. Are any of the Mogo, CrazyStone, 
 and other  
 professional program authors leaving room in their autumn schedules  
 to travel to Ogaki City, Japan for this year's Gifu Challenge?

Do we know that the Gifu Challenge is going to happen this October?  Do 
you have a URL for it?

Is there a price money? Or at least some sponsorship for traveling?

Is there a date set, already ? Anyway, it is not likely I'll go because 
it usually takes place at the time of year when my classes start. Also I 
still don't know how to have Crazy Stone play with Japanese rules.

I guess there has not been an announcement yet, though it has been in  
early October the previous two years.  Last year's pre-announcement  
was sent to the list on July 5. Perhaps the manager of the Computer  
Go Forum (http://www.computer-go.jp/index.html) has more information.

There is prize money. I think it was about $3000 US last year for  
first place.


No remote computing, so if like me you use a cluster, you must bring it.

Cheers,
