While you guys are drumming up interest in this monster team event at the Nordic Open, maybe someone could think up a way of answering these bot-vs-human questions. That might be interesting, too.

How much interest would there be in another man/machine "showdown" like the Ballard-Senkiewicz-Jellyfish match? Stick sounded willing to play the bots. Any others? Under what conditions? This might even attract some attention from outside the usual backgammon community. It wouldn't have the cachet of Kasparov-Deep Blue, but I think anyone with a serious interest in computer game-playing programs (not necessarily backgammon) would find it interest. Good publicity for backgammon, maybe?
