Indeed Steenvreter wasn't running on Pachi's hardware. As in other recent tournaments I used an Opteron system with 46 threads at 2.2 Ghz. It's not as powerful as Zen's minicluster, but at least it gets a bit closer than using that (single cpu) i7 machine.
Regarding the komi; to me it has been quite clear for a long time that 7.5 is too high for the 9x9 board. In my mind the issue was already settled in 2008 (at least from what I remember talking about it with David and some other guys in Beijing), but somehow it still took a surprisingly long time to settle in. (BTW I suspect 7.5 komi to be too high for all larger boards, because I see no obvious reason why komi would start increasing again with board size). Anyway, 7.0 might be fair, but if it's still too high then 6.5 and 5.5 probably won't make much difference under Chinese rules. Is anyone (besides me) willing to take the next step in Computer Go evolution: Japanese style rules, territory scoring + 6.5 komi. Because of the nearly-doubled resolution in likely possible scores it might keep 9x9 Go interesting for some more time to come (and perhaps even give Nick a chance again to make some comments on the games ;-)).
