Some questions and comments from my side:
* which rules: chinese?

* "best of five" is clear for me, but what means "80 40 fischer"?
Is it 80 minutes base time + 40 seconds increment for each move played?

* Will the bot be allowed to play with remote hardware?

* European Go Congress 2011 is in Bordeaux:
July 23 to August 06. There is a very strong french bot around.
Remi might find sponsors who back him with 1,000 Euro.

* European Go Congress 2012 will be in Bonn (Germany):
July 21 to August 04. There should be German sponsors to
back a programmer with 1,000 Euro.

* Which account is Jouni on KGS now?

Ingo.
