No, not directly.
I suspect they are reading this conversation, so they could reply.
Or you can send them email to their adress of this mailing list...

Oh, I thought that the work on Suzie had stopped after Chrilly
discontinued the work for it...

Yes, I noticed the other discussions. Make me wonder why the others seems
not interested in asking you to make for instance the CGOS 19x19 pool
more interesting by creating a continuous pool of (rotating) contenders.
A time ago when I tried to connect to 19x19 it was already shut down,
because the lack of interest.
I think there always will be times when interest is low, while at other
times more programs will be present. The 19x19 interest will increase
more and more over the next year or so I think when more MC programs
will enter the 19x19 "arena".

I only worked on 19x19 this year. Yesterday I tried 9x9 on CGOS again,
but my bug detectors were alarming for this size, so I had to stop it
again (debugging needed). Last version did about Elo=2020
For 19x19 it's 8k on KGS now.
I am always running on a slow one processor machine.
I do not have a multicore yet, so I did not program anything for multicore.
How will you cope with multicore usage in your tournament?
I noticed other programs to be about 8 times faster on a 4 core, so
my program could be about 5k on KGS, if I could use such a multicore
machine (and programmed my software to use it).
(On CGOS with 9x9 this could mean an Elo of about 2300 on a 4 core
machine).
