I agree that 7.0 would be a better komi for the computer Olympiad, but it should be decided soon, since the komi affects the opening book, and an integer komi requires some changes in the playout algorithm to properly account for draws.

In the last game against Pachi, Zen did not implement the KGS cleanup phase correctly, it passed while leaving dead stones on the board. So KGS indicates that Pachi has won. However the tournement rules http://www.egc2011.eu/index.php/en/computer-go/75-computer-go-reglement indicate "In case of trouble in the KGS counting of the score, the human referee is allowed to change the result - the situation on the board as the priority". So it is fair to say that Zen has won the game. ManyFaces also failed to implement the cleanup phase correctly in another game, but this did not affect the result. Jean-loup 2011/8/1 "Ingo Althöfer" <[email protected]> Today a 9x9 computer-go tournament was played within the European Go Congress: 5 bots participating, for each pairing two rounds (with different colours). At the end Zen was a convincing winner, with 9 wins out of ten games. Pachi on rank 2 with 5 points, ahead of ManyFaces, MyGoFriend, and MoGo. http://www.gokgs.com/tournEntrants.jsp?sort=s <http://www.gokgs.com/tournEntrants.jsp?sort=s&id=608> &id=608 Komi was 7.5. 16 out of the 20 games ended with wins for White. >From the four wins with Black three were achieved by Zen, the other one by Pachi. I think it is really necessary to play in the Tilburg Olympiad with a smaller komi value. Probably 7.0 would be a fair choice.
