I just signed up for this newsgroup and have been following the
posts. I am (you guessed it) building a computer go program. My
question is, what tournament should I aim to be a part of? I have been
cruising the net trying to figure out when the next big tournament is
so that I can have my program done by then. I am writing everything
from scratch using C++. What tournaments are you all planning on
going to? Thanks, and I am really excited to be a member of this
community.
I hope you found the list at
http://www.computer-go.info/events/future.html
This lists all future computer Go tournaments that I am aware of. (If
you found any not on this list, please tell me.)
If your program supports GTP (it should) you can get it to play on CGOS,
see http://cgos.boardspace.net/
There have been developments at CGOS that aren't reflected on that page
- you can read about them in this mailing list.
Also you can leave your program running on KGS http://www.gokgs.com/,
where it can offer games to anyone who cares to play it. There is a
demand for weak computer players there - this morning, while I was
logged in as an admin, someone complained to me that IdiotBot was not
present, and he wanted to play it. I don't understand this, IdiotBot
really is remarkably weak, but it seems it is popular.
Other Go servers, including IGS, LGS, and Wing, also support programs,
but I know nothing about this.
