AFIK, he planed to use KGS not the NNGS server at all.  Later, he 
started to try to use the Ruby script which almost all players are 
using to convert GTP to NNGS protocol.  Now he is trying to use 
cascaded SSH port forwarding to pass the packets through the multiple 
walls that hide MoGo.

Wow, I'm not the tournament director but a player (Fudo Go), an 
operator (DeepZen) and the Techinical Advisor.  I have, though, sole 
resposibility for all Go tournaments in the Computer Olympiad 2010 
Kanazawa.

Yes, added 3 rounds will take about 2 more hours.  I'm now making the 
pairing :(.
