The WWW Roshambot utilizes an Artificial Intelligence algorithm in order to determine the optimal move for each round.
There is also a restricted access version of the Roshambot which keeps a permanent record of your moves and results as well as rankings of all registered competitors.
This is easily demonstrated by Roshambot, a computer program that easily defeats some human players (as does its author Perry Friedman, who won an $800 competition against seven opponents including former world poker champion Phil Hellmuth in August 2001).
