Unofficial, the official results will be on the web site.
9x9 World computer go championship, September 25th, 26th, 2010 Chinese rules, 7.5 Komi, 10 minutes each, 2 games per round, alternating colors white log in first, type name of opponent Valkyria on 2 cores, core2duo notebook Many Faces of Go - 12 core SMP Xeon Fuego - 56 core SMP IBM Power, 112 threads MyGoFriend - Core i7 3 GHz notebook Mogo - 160 cores (20x8c) Erica - 8 cores Gomorra - 64 cores (8x8c), 10K po per core Aya - 6 cores, 6K playout per core 5 minutes before the round started, the Mogo operator discovered that the nngs server is on a local subnet and not accessable from outside. He will type moves by hand using cgoban, so he has a time penalty. One other team had connection problems. Round is delayed 10 minutes. The nngs server was killed by accident, so all games restarted at 2:30. Mogo lost one game because of operator error. The second game it won with one second on its clock when the opponent resigned. Erica played the first 5 games with 6.5 komi rather than 7.5. It might have caused a loss in the 5th game. Many games are decided by book. Many Faces was lost in the book against Erica both games. MyGoFriend has a big book, and used it to beat Erica. Gomorra lost several games on time. The cluster communication is a high overhead, and latency to Germany is very high.

These resutls seemed a little odd, and the results from the pairing program were not in order of the number of wins as we expected from a swiss tournament. It turns out that the pairings were done using the McMahon system, with the initial ratings assigned by the tournament director, between 6 dan and 6 kyu. There was some discussion about this, and some feeling that the McMahon pairings were not going to give a fair result. In the end there was a suggestion from the MyGoFriend team to make the tournament round robin. No pair has played twice yet, so this still possible. The tournament director agreed, so we will have a 13 round tournament, with 8 rounds tomorrow. The rounds will be a little faster, with all pairings decided ahead of time, but the tournament will still go later into the evening.
