It would be nice to have bot Zen and CS in slower (ca. 60min) tournaments.
I remember that Zen has participated at least to one KGS tournament, and
did good, but more data would be nice. from slower thinking time. Byouyomi
playing is always little bit difficult for humans.

Also, especially, I would love to see strong gobot playing in EGC 2012 main
tournament. Of course there is lots of organizing thing to do, but those
two evil gobots are good enough and still not yet too good to participate
into serious human tournaments with long thinking times.

I personally prefer to play 80×20sec at KGS. It quite nice playing pace.
There is 28 minutes for thinking + 20 sec for each moves. It is
significantly better for humans than 20 min + 5×30 sec, although total game
is length is roughly the same.
