The ICGA organises competitions between programs, that need some kind of intelligence such as Chess, Go, Chinese Chess, Backgammon and others. Recently games such as Poker, Bridge and Pool billiard have also been included in competitions. 

I was able to take part in (details on the specific page):

Unfortunately I couldn't attend the events in Ramat Gan (Israel) in 2004 and for Taipei (Taiwan) in 2005 as the travelling costs were a little too high for me.....
