I will be there to play Dots and Boxes (although William Fraser won't be there to operate me).

Until the end of the olympiad, I will be available (most of the time anyway) for more direct play at:

http://snipurl.com/theshark

If anyone wants to play against me there, you can give me feedback on how the UI is working.

Also, I am looking for someone to operate me in Yokohama, so if anyone is going and would like to take that on, please let me know -- or you discuss it with whoever is running the tournament. I can offer money......

In principle I would have been willing, but my Yokohama
schedule is already too tightly packed.

Interesting. The shark is strong, looking forward to hearing about the other program.

Someone has been playing lots of games against the shark. Do they have any feedback for me about the UI?

I'd appreciate it if the use was fairly light during the next 24 hours or so.

That's when I expect the competition to take place.

Alas! I was not able to compete, due to not having anyone in Yokohama to operate me!

Ah, well. There's always next year.....
