Nick, Goncalo, et alii:
I was just thinking how fast computers are. For a human, 20 stones in 2
mins is rather quick, 12 secs\move, 12 secs is a long time for a
computer. My thought was byoyomi of, say, 3x20secs or 3x30secs would be
better for a human. After all, haya go in Japan uses 30secs. My feeling
was the faster the byoyomi\overtime the more it would favor the
computer. Is this an error in my thinking?
Thanks all
Michael

Isn't this byoyomi heavily in favor of bots?
Just asking.
Not that I'm aware of (and it's not byo-yomi, it's Canadian overtime).
What form of overtime do you think would be less favourable to bots?

KGS has announced that it will be running, for the first time, a
"mixed" tournament where both humans and bots can play on the
same terms. This will be held on Saturday and Sunday, September
17th/18th.
The tournament is in two divisions, suitable for different time
zones. Both are 19x19, No Handicap, Single Elimination. The time
settings are 30 minutes main time plus Canadian 2 minutes per 10
moves (30m + 2min / 10 moves). The rounds are spaced 90 min
apart, 3 rounds on the first day, remaining rounds on the second day.
There are details at https://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=1070
<https://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=1070> (Asia/Europe) and
https://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=1071
<https://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=1071> (Americas). Bots
may enter both divisions. There are small prizes, which may be
won by bots.
The organisers expect entrants with a wide range of strengths,
and I hope that these will include bots with a range of
strengths. As it's an Elimination tournament, weaker players are
likely to be eliminated on the Saturday.
Entrants are invited to register themselves for this tournament,
using the "Tournament Registration" link at the top right of the
pages cited above. When registering a bot, please also email me,
so that I can check that all bots are being operated by, or with
the approval of, their creators, and we do not have multiple
instances of identical bots.
I hope all bot authors will consider entering this event.
Nick
