The November 2010 KGS computer Go tournament will be on Sunday November
7th, in the Asian night, European evening, and American morning,
starting at 16:00 UTC/GMT and ending at 23:59 UTC/GMT.
It will be an 8-round Swiss with 19x19 boards, 29 minutes each of main
time, and Canadian Overtime of 25 moves in 60 seconds. This overtime
setting is fast, but I hope not so fast that it will cause games to be
lost entirely because of netlag. It will use Chinese rules with 7.5
points komi. There are details at
http://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=544 .
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).
