Hi Peter, > I'm due for a sabbatical next year. I had been joking, "It sure would be good > timing if someone cracked Go right before that started.

Probably you know, that the ICGA has its next Computer Olympiad end of June 2916 in Leiden (NL), together with a 3-day conference "Computers and Games". It is an exciting question how the whole event will be. In which moods the programmers are, to which other games CNNs will be applied, which new directions of research will be started, which bots will start in the computer go competition ... I think the questions may become more urgent when certain things will happen in March. Cheers, Ingo. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
