April 2010 KGS bot tournament (Winner: Zen9)

This is the April 2010 KGS Computer Go Tournament.

It is open only to Go-playing programs, known as 'bots'. Even for bots, there are some restrictions on entry.

It will use 9×9 boards, Chinese rules, and a time setting of 9 minutes each plus Canadian overtime of 25 moves in 30 seconds. This is intended to ensure that a game finishes within the period 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 Asians and Europeans. I hope that Americans 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.

Rules

Swiss style, Simultaneous Schedule.

Prizes

There is no prize.
