December 2008 KGS bot tournament: Formal division (Winner: Fuego9)

This is the Formal division of the December 2008 KGS Computer Go Tournament.

It is open only to Go-playing programs, known as 'bots'. Even for bots, there are restrictions on entry to this Formal division. There is also an Open division.

It will use 9×9 boards, Chinese rules, and a time setting of 8 minutes each plus Canadian overtime of 25 moves in 20 seconds.

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 Pay particular attention to the requirements for entry to this formal division. If you cannot meet these requirements, you may still be able to enter the open division.

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.
