The November 2006 KGS computer Go tournament will be next Sunday,
November 5th, in the European evening and American midday,
starting at 18:00 UTC and ending at about 22:00 UTC.
The Formal division will use 13x13 boards with 18 minutes sudden death,
Chinese rules, and 7.5 points komi. The Open division will use 9x9
boards with 13 minutes sudden death, Chinese rules, and 7.5 points komi.
There are details at
http://kgs.kiseido.com/en_US/tournInfo.jsp?id=242 and at
http://kgs.kiseido.com/en_US/tournInfo.jsp?id=245.
Please note two important changes since the September event, brought
about by a major upgrade to the KGS server:
1.
The server is at a new address, goserver.gokgs.com (the old one was
goserver.igoweb.org).
2.
Clean-up at the end of the game is now supported. If your bot does not
support clean-up, it risks losing won games to a bot that does support
it. To avoid this, you should either arrange for your bot to support
clean-up, or for it to capture all dead enemy stones before it passes.
Registration is now open. To enter, please read and follow the
instructions at
http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/how/index.html. The rules are given at
http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/rules.html.
