I have now accepted "unofficial" entries from Fuego using the name 'FuegoAl', operated by Aloril GNU Go using the name 'GnuGoAl', operated by Aloril and hope to receive one from MoGo using the name 'CzechBot', operated by Petr Baudiš. I welcome these, as I want to see these strong players take part, and so, I believe, do the other entrants. However they are all willing to step down to make way for "official" entries from these same players, particularly if the official entries are able to use more processor power - Aloril's Fuego will be running on two cores and his GNU Go on one. I would even welcome unofficial entries for GNU Go and Fuego if these would be able to use more processor power than Aloril can, and so would he. Nick >There will only be one division.
