I saw an article about the exhibition games of the CSA 18 in the online
Yomiuri newspaper. The article was “Can advanced shogi software defeat
professional players?” June 27, 2008
The article said “Kato, 26, and Shimizugami, 28, both sixth-grade
amateur players, had beaten the software in their previous six games”.
What previous 6 games are they talking about?
Kato said "This time, the software made no wasteful moves". Sounds like
Kato was expecting the computer to be weaker. Maybe he did not prepared
enough.
Yoshimasa Tsuruoka said “it will take two to three years for it to catch
up with lower class professional players in one-hour games. I hope it
will reach the level of Ryuo and Meijin tournament title holders in five
to six years.”
Meanwhile, Akira Watanabe, said "I will defeat shogi software for the
next 10 years". A tournament with Akira Watanabe would be interesting. I
hope such a tournament will be permitted.
Did Kato and Shimizugami analyze their exhibition games at the CSA
tournament?
