That's easy to say. Do you know a tournament where a program can enter?
I have tried few times with Pachi, never successfully yet. I think some
other authors tried as well in the past.
Many years ago, when running a Go tournament for humans, I allowed a
program to enter. It only played in rounds in which the number of human
entrants was odd, so as to avoid byes (I thought, "surely playing a game
against a program is better than sitting around reading a newspaper for
a round?"). But I was reprimanded by the British Go Association, and
told never to do this again.
