Note however that you would have probably not been allowed to
participate together with GNU Go (I am not completely sure). Since
nobody registered GNU Go this year, it may not be too late to enter.
But the availability of internet connection in Beijing has not been
confirmed yet. Also, you should be able to play on a local computer
as a backup in case of connection problem.

I would never presume that I could find enough local Macs with enough
memory, networking equipment, and enough time to install MPI and make
sure that everything was working ... maybe next year, when we also
think we will be less dependent upon GNU Go. But predicting the
progress made in software is difficult.

David
