I am working on a plan to possibly be able to run 2 boardsizes on Dave
Dyers boardspace site. If this plan works out, obviously 9x9 is very
popular and we will keep it.   The only questions is what should the
other board size be. It is starting to appear than 19x19 is the second
most popular for computer go.


7x7 is interesting to me for a few reasons:
• It was "solved" by some dans a while back. This gives a perfect fuseki database and measurably correct and incorrect evaluations
• 7x7 < 64, so bitboards could be extremely effective.

I prefer keeping 9x9. We have 9x9 for quick testing of changes (because the games are fast), and 19x19 for testing play on a full board. I don't think 13x13 adds anything. It's slower, so I would still use 9x9 for quick tests. It's not a board size that anyone uses, so I would still use 19x19 to test
for full boards.


I agree. 9x9 and 19x19 are the most popular board sizes and the only
ones used in Computer Go tournaments.

I think the participation on the 19x19 CGOS would be higher if it wasn't down so often. Sometimes the server does not work for days, sometimes it is only the result pages on the web, which are not updated. I think it would be very helpful to have an 19x19 server with a higher uptime.
Unfortunately I cannot offer to run one myself.
