World Computer-Bridge Championship Returns to USA

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday June 29, 2004 @11:32AM from the bridge-to-nowhere dept.

Stephen Smith writes "Computers are as good as (or better than) the best humans at such games as Othello, checkers, and chess. What game will computers conquer next? If it's not go or poker, it might be the card game bridge. The World Computer-Bridge Championship returns to the USA for the first time in six years, running from 13 July 2004 to 18 July 2004 at the Hilton New York (Concourse A, lower level) in Manhattan. Eight bridge programs are scheduled to compete; our program, Bridge Baron, will try to avenge its loss to Jack in last year's final. Spectators are welcome and admission is free."

Look, there has to be some way to teach old people how to use the Internet. Maybe watching Auto-Bridge may be the answer.

Really though, I'll bet this will be a big hit at the retirement homes. It'll replace Movie Night.
