Computer Go Results Summary
Dave Fotland
The Ing competition takes place every November, with a prize of
NT$200,000 (about US$8,000) for first place. The top program gets to
play a match against people at a handicap, for prizes from NT$150,000
(about US$6,000) to NT$40,000,000 (about US$1.6 Million).
The Computer Olympiads were world competions in a variety of computer
games, including Go.
The FOST competition takes place every September in Japan, with a prize
of 2,000,000 Yen (about US$20,000) for first place.
I include all programs that have participated more than once, or that
finished in the top 5 places. Ordering is by long term relative strength,
with recent results weighted higher.

Rating is a weighted average of results, with each year weighted
2/3 of year after it. For years where a program did not participate,
results are interpolated. A program that has not participated recently
is penalized one rank per year from its most recent result.
