I think I can partially resolve a mystery:
---
The Orego-housebot game got stuck in the position shown to the left. I
don't know what state it had got into, but neither player moved, and
neither timed out. Housebot had crashed, so I am surprised that this
did not cause it to time out. SGF
Anyway, I needed to assign a result to the game. There is an
unresolved ko at the top edge. But even assuming it loses the ko,
White (Orego) has 38 points on the board, and wins with komi. So I
assigned the win to Orego.
The way the KGS server works, if I assign a result, it is
shown as a "forfeit" by the loser. The "forfeit" label on KGS usually
indicates that the forfeiting player is a habitual escaper. But in bot
games it merely indicates that some human intervention has occurred,
and is not a criticism.

housebot tried to declare all of the white stones at the top dead, and
Orego disagreed. A cleanup phase was entered, and I believe housebot
crashed during the cleanup phase.
I don't know why that left the game alive with no clock ticking...

Congratulations to MoGoTW, winner of yesterday's KGS bot tournament.
My report is at http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/past/51/index.html. It
is longer than usual - perhaps because I found this event, with a
very strong entry and a fast format, particularly interesting.
As usual, I am sure there are errors, and I look forward to
receiving your corrections.
