I vote for 13x13 with 15 minutes. 19x19 , 30 minutes , in march.

We have a few proposals. My preference is 13x13 at 20 minutes per game, but I think the idea of having 19x19 is more popular. If we do 19x19 I don't think the monte carlo programs would have much of a chance with current hardware if we use a fast time control. Of course personally I'm trying to encourage the development of new techniques and idea and particularly Monte Carlo although all programs are welcome. So I'm leaning towards 30 minute games at 19x19 but I'm still listening to feedback. - Don On Tue, 2006-12-12 at 08:05 -0500, Don Dailey wrote: > You anticipated my next question - the time control. > > I was thinkin gof 30 minutes too.
