Starting on Monday October 11th is the KGS 2010 slow bot tournament, on 19x19 boards. I already have entries from MoGo (using the account CzechBot) Orego pachi GNU Go (using the account PNUGo) Fuego (using the account PueGo) I will continue to accept entries until shortly before play starts. If official versions of MoGo, GNU Go, and Fuego enter, I will remove the unofficial versions listed above.
I will be away from home for most, possibly all, of the time between the evening of Monday 4th and the start of the tournament, so if you want to enter it is important to use my address maproom at gmail dot com . Emails sent to me at the address from which I am now posting may not be read until after the tournament is over. Unlike the monthly KGS bot tournaments, entries from weak players will not be accepted. Only programs which can consistently beat IdiotBot and WeakBot50k will be considered.
