Hi Nick,
Thank you for organizing the tournament. My hardware was a Phenom II (6 core) at 3.3 GHz not overclocked. It think it is fair to give MyGoFriend my 4th place manually as you did, because it won against my program and deserves the place even if it lost due to protocol issues against PNUgo. Nevertheless, ironing out the protocol issues is part of computer go development (I know because I still have a lot to work to be satisfied with my own program) and I recommend to clarify in what cases will the KGS tournament system be overridden. Other programs have had "unfair" (i.e., protocol related) losses in the past, and I think it works as a motivation to improve the program. If you asked my opinion, I would not override the KGS tournament system at all. Jacques.
