Last Friday (Nov 13, 2009), there was a "Long Night of Sciences" in Jena. My group was involved, under the title "Games - with mathematics or without". Amongst others, we organized a mixed tournament in Havannah (on boards of size 6): two top humans competed with the to best computer programs. We played a round robin, where in each game each side had 30 minutes for all moves. At the end the humans were clear winners, without losing a single game to teh bots. However, tournament winner Ed van Zon had to go through some critical moments in his game against DeepFork (by Thomas Reinhardt, Leipzig).
See a report under http://www.althofer.de/lange-nacht-jena-2009.html The Havannah part is in the second half. (But also the upper part should contain some interesting stuff.)
