RE: [computer-go] [Fwd: Announcement ICGA Events 2010]
Many Faces fully supports Japanese rules. When it plays on KGS it only uses Japanese rules. Internally I use Chinese rules, but I adjust the score at the end of the playouts depending on how many important passes have been played. Getting it right was a little tricky, but it's not a lot of code in the end. There was some discussion in the archives you can probably find. Remi recommended adjusting the komi by one point to account for who passes last, but I don't do that.

Is it possible to participate in these tournaments remotely? I think I would like to start participating in these, but I certainly have no budget (or time) to travel outside of Europe. :-( Petr Pasky Baudis For the ICGA Computer Olympiad, there should be no problem. This year all participants except myself used remote computers. I carried my i7 to the competition facilities. (I do live in Spain, but over 2000 Km away from Pamplona in the Canary Islands, so it was complicated to fly with the computer 3 times.) Hideki Kato operated his computer in Japan remotely and was also operator for Zen in communication with Yamato who was in Japan. Fuego used a computer in New York (maybe not for all the games), Mogo used the Huygens cluster and Professor Chen had his students operating in the US. Neither will I be able to travel to Japan (unless I find a sponsor ;-)) and I also expect to participate again with better results, of course.
