[Computer-go] 2011 KGS bot tournaments

[Nick Wedd]

Now that I am back from London (the man/machine challenge, and 
refereeing the London Open Go Tournament), I must urgently plan the 
schedule of KGS bot tournaments for 2011.

It will be something like the 2010 schedule (see
http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/future.html ), but with four "slow" 
tournaments instead of one.  The time limits for these four tournaments 
will be 12 hours, eight hours, six hours, and four hours per player.  At 
the request of some European players, these will start at two hours 
before midnight GMT, rather than at midnight as in the past.

The regular monthly tournaments will as usual be on Sundays, one per 
month, generally early in each month.  There will be six 19x19, probably 
two 13x13, and probably four 9x9.  There will be a variety of time 
settings, much as in 2010.

I expect the next monthly tournament to be on Sunday January 8th, and to 
be 19x19.

If anyone wishes to influence my decisions about the schedule, please 
let me know very soon.

Nick
