The 2013 European Go Congress will be held in Olsztyn, Poland, from July 27th to August 11th. On Friday August 2nd, the EGC Science Conference will be held there, see http://egc2013.go.art.pl/page/egc-science-conference . It will include three computer Go tournaments, see the final paragraph of http://egc2013.go.art.pl/page/go-tournaments
I learned today, from the organiser Paweł Noga, that entrants for these tournaments will be required to use the computers provided. I do not yet know the specification of these computers, though I guess they will be running Windows. I also do not yet know whether programmers will be allowed to appoint someone who is at the Congress, to operate their programs for them. I have asked Paweł about both. I would like to hear from the owners of strong programs whether they are planning to enter. If no strong program will be competing, I will not want to travel to Poland for the event. If there will be at least two strong programs competing, I will travel to Poland, and will offer to operate competing programs for those who cannot be there themselves, if this is to be permitted. If I am to be in Poland for the Congress, the August KGS bot tournament will probably be on August 25th; if I am not going there, it will be on August 4th.
