[Computer-go] NHK News "Bots will be admitted to pro tournaments"

[甲斐徳本]

NHK (BBC equivalent in Japan) reported in tonight's 7 o'clock news on
national TV channel that "Nihon Kiin will be admitting computer programs to
pro tournaments as participants"

*Details are not known at all.  It is a common practice for Nihon Kiin to
let its sponsors (newspapers, TV / cable channels, etc) scoop valuable news
before making formal announcements.  For example, Antti* Törmänen's 1p
status was reported by Mainichi newspaper a day before Nihon Kiin's
announcement on its website.

*So let's hope some detail will become available tomorrow.*

*Tokumoto*
