Third Computer WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP in RENJU

Dear Renju friends
We had 2-d WC in Renju among computers programs last year.
There were participants from Russia,USA, Japan, China.
We want to have more countries.
In many countries there are programmers who have write programs for Gomoku
Gomoku (five in a row) was solved by Victor Allis from Netherlands
See his theses at http://www.cs.vu.nl/~victor/thesis.html
Renju is the sport variant of gomoku.
Renju is unsolved game.

The new winner program in both championships "Blackstone" by Victor Barikin
is now the best program in Renju.
Mr. Kawamura former Meijin and World Champion kindly write about this
program :
"It is enough strong to play against top players !"
But 2 problems with sure win (tsume renju) from problems solving
championship were not solved by all programs.
It means that it is a lot of work for programmers.
All participants are welcome !
Next 3-d WC will be in summer of 2000 year.
We plan to have Pentium II 400-800 , 64 Mb machines, Win-98
