after reading the page linked to earlier (at sensei's), i was impressed to
discover that the NYGC has had good success with fisher, experimenting
with various controls. they switched from 10 minutes / 20 seconds fisher
to 18 minutes / 15 seconds fisher. i'd be interested in trying a game or twelve
this way at KGS, unless adding a time control would be a big pain. If it is
(wms),
shoot me the source and I'll be happy to add it.
