The 1983 Fredkin incentive matches were held this week at the Washington Hilton hotel in Washington DC. The top two programs from the 1982 ACM tournament, Belle and Nuchess, were invited. This year there was an interesting, but contorted, format. Each round included four new human chess players with ratings between 1950 and 2050. Three games were played with humans chosen at random two face the computers and the remaining two humans playing each other. All combatents were isolated in separate rooms with moves relayed by phone. At the end of each game the humans had to guess if they had played another human or a computer. The moves of all games were relayed to a public demonstration room where there were frequent votes as to which people/computers were playing where. There were cash prizes for each half point and for correct guesses. All humans guessed that they had played computers except Nuchess' second round opponent and one human in a human- human game.
