The Computer Bridge Championships are being held in Verona. Wbridge5, the reigning champion has been beaten by the Japanese program MicroBridge in the SF and many times champion Jack annihilated QPlus in the other SF. The organiser's site (http://www.ny-bridge...ridge/index.htm) says the second half of the final will be shown, as last year, on BBO - I think tomorrow (22nd) - but I don't see anything on BBO schedule.
Any further info?

It's very difficult to list anything when we haven't been contacted by the organisers. They don't have to tell us, they don't have to ask us and they don't have to use our commentators. They can still use our software for free.
Maybe they will just turn up all of a sudden. Fair enough; they don't violate any of our rules if they do. However, they do need VG accounts. Maybe they already tested that the ones from last year are ok. Or maybe fred has given them a couple at the venue.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice

I hope they show it. It was a lot of fun last year and very fast too - about 4 minutes per hand if I recall correctly.

Looks like they decided not to show it this year - a pity 
Jack has regained the title (now a 5 times winner) easily defeating MicroBridge by 217 -54 over 64 boards.
The Jack team obviously took last year's defeat to heart and came back with a much stronger program, judging by the results throughout the tournament - see
