Remi, Thanks for your response. Yes, you are right. Let me mention some more attracting points of the UEC cup.
Michael Redmond 9 dan will make comments on the final and semi-final matches with Narumi Osawa 4 dan, in Japanese, sorry, but I guess you and other foreign programmers can directly talk to him. Also, Denseisen will be held on March 21st, where Norimoto Yoda 9 dan will fight against the top two programs. Throughout the UEC Cup and Denseisen, each prize money is not changed; the top program of the UEC Cup wins 300,000 yen, and it has an additional chance to win 200,000 yen if the program beats Yoda 9 dan in Denseisen. Unfortunately, only the travel support is reduced. I'm really sorry. Masakazu Muramatsu 2014/1/21 Rémi Coulom <[email protected]>: > Thanks for announcing the UEC Cup.
