The challenge concluded yesterday, and yeah, Gabor Melis won handily; trouncing the next AI by exactly 200 points. That&#39;s significant when you take into account that the typical difference between two consecutive top 100 AIs is between 5 and 20 points.<br>
<br>I played around with the starter package too, but didn&#39;t have enough time to build a proper contender<br><br>-Leo<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

A formidable Lisp bot, written by a Hungarian programmer, is leading<br>
the rankings by a respectable margin in the latest Google AI<br>

Let&#39;s cheer him on, and hope he stays in 1st place :)<br>

I found out about this challenge too late and, although I played<br>
around with the Lisp Starter Pack last week, didn&#39;t have time to write<br>
a decent bot. I believe there will be another challenge next year.<br>
