It has been discussed already on this list. The common approach is to not
even bother to try detect ko in playouts. In case of infinite game (very
rare but happens) you can just put a threshold on the number of moves and
igore the result. Of course you have to detect ko in

rank the moves as normal, ignoring ko.
choose the highest ranked legal move at the end.
(i.e. only check for ko-legality when choosing the
final move)

I agree with David. Have one time control per board size.
I like the 5-minute controls for 9x9. You can take your program
down for extensive offline testing and still get 100 games per day.
That is far more data than you can analyze. Still, the speed is
fast enough for ratings to stabilize

If more than one venue is mandatory I probably won't be able to join, since
I want to spend my limited programming time making the engine stronger, not
programming multiple time controls. Please allow me to play with just a
singe time limit without changing my cgos interface code.
