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. -- NEU: FreePhone - kostenlos mobil telefonieren!
