Backgammon in Computer Olympiad 2011

Hello everybody,

Backgammon can not be played on LittleGolem, at

least not so far. Nevertheless I want to mention

that the Computer Olympiad 2011 will also have a

competition in Computer Backgammon.

The event takes places in Tilburg (NL), from November 18/19

to November 26. Everybody around with a Backgammon bot

is invited to participate. At least one member of the

bot team has to be in Tilburg, also the computer.

Remote machines are not allowed.
