Analysis of robotgame

All bots for robotgame must be programmed using Python. You upload your robots as Python files. Robotgame is a turn-based game where your robots battle it out against other robots. Since it's turn based, we could actually implement it at battleofbits.

Analysis of nTCEC

The goal of nTCEC is to provide the viewers with a live broadcast of quality chess, played strictly between computer chess engines created by different programmers.

We should be able to do that, but for every board game (ever).

nTCEC uses a five-stage system where engines are pitted against each other. I think for the long term success, we'll need to also have such a system in place. I was thinking that we could do daily tournaments to begin with.
