I think there are already automated computer tournament. Not exactly this game, but RoShamBo (rock - paper - scissor) which is the same except that you have three possibilities instead of 2. Also there is no more the distinction between the "chooser" and the "guesser", so games are more easy to do. As far as I can tell the programs are pretty complex, using a variety of techniques, from "sicilian reasoning" to "statistical opponent modelization". If I understand correctly there should be also a tournament sometimes in the near future. Do a google search for "Computer RoShamBo" for more and more precise information. Maurizio P.S.
