5th Computer Olympiad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 5th Computer Olympiad took place at at Alexandra Palace, the West Hall in London, UK from 21 August 2000 to 25 August, 2000. After an eight year hiatus, it was revived by bringing it into the Mind Sports Olympiad. The computer programs competed against each other at a variety of games, including Amazons, Awari, Chess, Go, Hex, LOA, and Shogi.

The chess competition of the Computer Olympiad was a special event, since it was adopted by the ICCA as the 17th World Microcomputer Chess Championship (WMCC 2000).
