Exciting.  A new program ponanGo will attend the comming UEC Cup.  Its 
author has developed the strongest computer Shogi program, Ponanza in 
Japan (http://jsb.cs.uec.ac.jp/~igo/eng/participant.html), though no 
FaceGo nor GoogleGo is in the list :p.  A good news: the prize 
money has increased (http://jsb.cs.uec.ac.jp/~igo/eng/prize.html).

	Be care!  The deadline (10th Dec) is coming very soon!

>Great times.

Really a big fun.

>Will we see bots on par with top humans before 2020?

I'd like to bet no, just possible for 13x13.
