A week ago the Tromp bet games have been played and the results from last year have been reversed and Zen beat Tromp solidly. Tromp won the first game by resignation but lost the two games after that and thus lost the bet! Welcome our new Lord Zen the bot!

Man vs Machine - The tromp bet
I bet many KGS players know of this bet from last year. Now it has been renewed and we will see how much the computer can do now. Below the gogameguro article and Darren's message on the bet.
Many of you followed the Go Bet event in London at the end of 2010, where John Tromp triumphed and I was forced to hand over the $1000. Now it is time to see if the bots have improved in the past 12 months, as John will play another match with a computer program. When: During January 2012 (exactly when will be announced soon) Where: On KGS Format: Best-of-5 (first to three wins) Rules: Chinese, 7.5pt komi Time: 90 minutes each, with byo-yomi of 25 stones per 10 minutes Hardware: (to be announced) Yamato, the author of Zen, was reluctant to take part a year ago, unsure of the outcome. Well, this year he has agreed to take part. A sign the machines have improved... or just over-confidence? Darren P.S. The match is online this time, and there is no wager, so my only involvement is the publicity :-) -- Darren Cook, Software Researcher/Developer

Shogi bot beats female Shogi professional!
Let me quote the website:
"Just like the Chess computer “Deep Blue” which has beaten the humanbeing, the computer Shogi(Japanese Chess) software, “Akara 2010″ has beaten the woman shogi master Shimizu, through a fight up to 6 hours. “Akara 2010″ is the latest development on Shogi computer software, and is a combination of 4 softwares which are sold as different packages at retail. It decides the next move by majority voting of the 4 softwares, and if they get even on the draw on 2 by 2, the strongest software “Gekisashi” will make the final decision.
The last Shogi fight between man and computer was in 2007, using a software called “Bonanza”, which the computer lost the title. Now this time the software wins for the first time, with the struggle for 35 years, just keep on losing.
As the next move, the “Akara 2010″ will be challenging a male shogi master in about half a year, and if the software will win, the new challenge against the strongest master is going to be made."

Maybe one day a shogi bot will beat the Meijin of Shogi. :)
