The event consists of 3 online rounds (September 5-6, September 14 and September 19,) in which participants compete to solve three coding problems faster and more accurately than their competitors. If you've got what it takes, and more of it than anyone else, then you can take home up to $10k for your code-fu."

    Does Google claim ownership over the code you submit?

    I'd argue that in the case of a computer playing chess, it was instructed how to play by humans.

    A better analogy would be a computer that is able to take the rules of chess as it's only input and figure out how to play and beat humans on it's own.
