The September KGS bot tournament will start at 22:00 UTC on Sunday September 8th, and end by 22:00 UTC on Tuesday August 10th. It will have 6 rounds, Swiss, with 19x19 boards. The time limits will be three hours each, sudden death. The komi will be 7.5. There are details at http://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=835 . Please register by emailing me, with the words "KGS Tournament Registration" in the email title, at [email protected] . This may be the last "slow" tournament, with time limits of over an hour each, that I run. Now that cloud computing is easily available, I believe that there is little purpose in setting such slow time limits. If you want to see how a bot does given a lot of thinking time, it makes more sense to hire multiple processors than to let it run for a long time. (If you think I am wrong, you can probably convince me of it.) Nick
