Hi,
This was just announced on the ICGA Tournaments web site:
http://go.nutn.edu.tw/eng/main_eng.htm
It is right before the Computer Olympiad, and registration is free for
participants in the Olympiad.
That event runs 26 (computer-computer) and 27 September
(human-computer). The Human-Computer games start at 13:30h. This is in
Taiwan.
The Olympiad starts at 11:00h the next day in Beijing, China.
I think this will be "quite" "difficult". (That's not taking into
account the cost of extra plane tickets, or the fact that travel and
holiday arrangements have already been made).
Given how well the support for Beijing is (essentially refunding the
plane tickets, you get more for participating in Beijing than winning in
Taiwan!), I would be really surprised if many strong programs show up
for this. Calling the Taiwan tournament the World Championship is a
silly joke.
What I don't get why the ICGA is along with this joke. It's not the
first time, either.
