I don't want to get into a holy war over this, but Windows has suffered forever with this albatross around it's neck, the concept that a single physical device is an exclusive resource for one person and only one person. It's a real straight-jacket when you are used to something more sane. I th

I'm not physically attending the EGC. In order to participate, I needed to provide a windows executable and have someone operate the bot on my behalf. I probably should have taken advantage of the offer to use a Linux box, but I figured I'd make it easier on the organizers :) On Tue, Aug 5, 2008

Things are looking good for the computer Go at the EGC on August 6th, see http://www.computer-go.info/egc2008/. For the 19x19 event we have five "definite" entries, and six maybes. For the 9x9 we have seven "definites" and five maybes. If your program is listed as a maybe Martin Müller Gunna

Well, I only wanted to participate in 9x9. My program is strong enough to not need help from amateurs. For 19x19, if anyone really wants to cheat it is still relatively easy, even under the current restrictions. Personally I think strength of the programs should be irrelevant. The organizers shou

The programs would have to get strong enough that it would be hard to find some human willing to hide behind the network connection for the purpose of cheating. We could debate that level, but it would have to be at least into the pro ranks. Until then, I have to build traveling racks to hold my
