[computer-go] April KGS Computer Go tournament: 19x19

After a break, I am resuming KGS bot tournaments. I have not yet decided if they will be monthly, as they used to be. The first one will be on April 5th, and is described below. They may include slow (12 hours each per game) and blitz tournaments. I am open to suggestions about their schedul

Re: [computer-go] Can't get on CGOS

It's possible I made a mistake. I may have restarted the server before I tried to connect with the view - I'm not sure. The viewer should work even if many people connect however. I can run 2 or more copies of it easily. - Don -Original Message- From: Magnus Persson Reply-To: comput

Re: [computer-go] April KGS Computer Go tournament: 19x19

Quoting "Nick Wedd" : There will be only one division. It will be a 6-round Swiss with 19x19 boards and 29 minutes each of main time. It will use Chinese rules with 7.5 points komi, and a very fast "Canadian Overtime", of 25 moves in 20 minutes. There are details at http://www.gokgs.com/
