Years ago (in 2001, 2002, 2003; before the Monte Carlo revolution) we
had human go tournaments in Jena where some human+bot-constructions
(3-Hirn and others) participated. Three details made it a success:
* Participants declared before round 1 if they were willing to play against
such beasts.
* We had prizes (little books) for those who actually played against them.
* For the local and regional press (and TV) "computer participation" was
a highlight. They mainly reported on these experiments, but also about
the tournament itself.

Ingo.
