The European Go Congress (see http://egc2008.eu/en/congress/index.php)
will be held in Leksand, Sweden from July 26th to August 9th. On
Wednesday August 6th it will include a Computer Go event (see
http://www.computer-go.info/egc2008/).
Entry to this is free. If you would like to enter but cannot be there
yourself, it should be possible for you to send in your program, and I
will try to find an operator for it.
According to my records, entries so far are:
19x19 9x9
CrazyStone possible possible
FirstGo yes yes
GNU Go probable probable
HouseBot no yes
Leela probable yes
Mango possible possible
Many Faces of Go yes no
Steenvreter no yes
Toaster no possible
TSGo probable no
Tuuppari yes yes
valkyria possible possible
Wei2Go probable no
I expect this table needs correcting and bringing up to date.
Corrections and updates may be posted to this list or sent to me
privately, as you prefer. Late entries are also welcome.
The programs will be run on Windows Vista PCs in Leksand, connected to
KGS, where the games will be played.
Of the programs listed above, TSGo (by Ivo Tonkes) and Tuuppari (by a
team of Finnish programmers) have never, so far as I know, competed in a
KGS tournament. I would like both those programs to play in a trial
tournament on KGS, to ensure that they are correctly configured for
tournament play, rather than finding out that they aren't on the day of
the event. I am willing to set up such a trial tournament whenever
requested - it will use very short time limits, and no-one will care who
wins, the purpose will be to test their handling of the tournament
settings. However I suspect that neither of these programs yet has its
Windows version in a presentable state. I hope to hear soon from Ivo
Tonkes and Mika Urtela about this - if I don't, I shall assume that they
aren't reading this list, and email them privately.
I owe two pints of beer to "the GNU Go team". I expect to deliver these
to Gunnar, if he is there to operate GNU Go. Gunnar will also be
speaking on computer Go, after the tournament.
