Next Sunday is the KGS October bot tournament, on 19x19 boards. I
already have entries from
break
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
Monday evening and 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.
In fact, for Monday evening, and all of Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Friday, I shall have _no_ internet access. On Saturday and Sunday I
shall have internet access but not from home, so I won't be reading
emails sent from [email protected]. To register, use maproom at gmail
dot com. If you don't register soon, don't expect a response before
Saturday.
All this applies also to the SLOW tournament.

The October 2010 KGS computer Go tournament will be on Sunday October
10th, starting at 08:00 UTC and ending at 18:00 UTC.
Note that this is longer than usual, in response to requests. Only
people living in Europe and west Asia will normally be awake for the
whole tournament. I will be awake for the whole tournament myself, but
I do not intend to watch every round, so if something goes wrong I may
not be there to try to fix it.
It will be a 20-round Swiss with 19x19 boards, 14 minutes each of main
time, and Canadian Overtime of 25 moves in 60 seconds. It will use
Chinese rules with 7.5 points komi. There are details at
http://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=537. The overtime setting is
intended to avoid losses on time through netlag.
I would have preferred to set it to 30 rounds, but the KGS tournament
creation software does not allow more than 20 rounds. I shall write to
wms asking for a simple change to allow for more than 20 rounds.
Registration is now open. To enter, please read and follow the
instructions at http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/how/index.html . The rules
are given at http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/rules.html . Your bot need
not be strong to enter, indeed weak and new bots are particularly
welcome.
Please send your registration email (with the words "KGS Tournament
Registration" in the title) to me at maproom at gmail dot com
(converted to a valid address in the obvious way).
