I am sorry you feel that I hijacked your thread. But my intention was
infact to not post a new thread
and ask my question directly to a tournament organizer which I found
mentioned a lot while googling.

I don't mind at all about the thread hijacking. But I thought that a discussion of byo-yomi, in a thread with "KGS bot tournament" in the title, might mislead someone into thinking that KGS bot tournaments use byo-yomi. They don't, they use Canadian overtime.

Incidentally, I personally would prefer Fischer time to either byo-yomi or Canadian overtime. But KGS does not support Fischer time, and is never likely to.

Anyway I did get it right after a couple of losses on CGOS server, and
my engine now seems to stabilize around
1350 elo. Btw the explanation given there on how to install the scripts
 on windows is misleading. One has to use tcltkitsh not any other tcltk
as the
as the link there seems to imply. A working explanation I found is this
one 
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg10948.html .
 I encountered all the problems the original poster had.

   In Go related question Sensei's library is the 1st place to look
   for an
   answer.
   http://senseis.xmp.net/?ByoYomi
   Is not very usefull but it doers contain a link that is

 Good link, thank you.

 The title of this thread is "February KGS bot tournament: 19x19",
 but it is now about byo-yomi.  This may confuse some readers: KGS
 bot tournaments do not use byo-yomi, they use Canadian overtime,
 which is different.  For descriptions of the various time systems
 implemented on KGS, see http://beta.gokgs.com/help/timesystems.html
