If you are entered in a tournament, please make sure that you have read the KGS tournament guide.
This is the May 2009 KGS Computer Go Tournament. It is open only to Go-playing programs, known as 'bots'.
It will use 9×9 boards, Chinese rules, and a time setting of 4 minutes each plus Canadian overtime of 20 or 25 moves in 20 seconds. This is intended to ensure that a game finishes within the hour assigned to the round, while allowing for opponents who unexpectedly play on after the game is decided.
To enter, please read and follow the instructions at http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/how/index.html
The rules are given at http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/rules.html
The schedule should be convenient for Europeans and Americans. I hope that Asians and others will also compete, leaving their bots connected and running overnight. KGS Computer Go Tournaments have a variety of schedules, to suit all timezones.
Swiss style, Simultaneous Schedule.
There is no prize.
