Computer Olympiad 2023

The 2023 Computer Olympiad will be held online. You must register by August 7, and play will commence on August 15. As in past online Olympiads, competitors for a game will agree on a playing venue (many games have a standard online platform; sometimes play is done manually over the Internet; even better is to have the programs use the Ludii interface).
