[Computer-go] KGS bot tournaments

["Ingo Althöfer"]

Hello,

thanks to Nick for making the announcement.

> Ingo Althöfer has announced that the winners of the KGS bot tournaments 
> in April, June, and July will be invited to give demonstration games, 
> 13x13, 9x9 and 19x19 respectively, against strong players at the 
> European Go Congress in Bonn.  These are the latest KGS monthly bot 
> tournaments of the appropriate board-sizes before the start of the 
> Congress.  The Congress will run from July 21st to August 4th; 

> the dates of the computer Go events within that period have not yet 
> been fixed, so far as I know.

The human-vs-computer exhibition games in the EGC 2012 will be
played 
either on Wednesday, August 01,  
or on Tuesday, July 31, and Wednesday, August 01.

Due to the fact that there will be no special bot tournaments during
the EGC, there is some more flexibility for the exhibition games.

For the 19x19 exhibition game the pro will be payed according to handicap.
He (or she) gets 50 Euro simply for playing. And he has the choice at which
handicap. When winning the game the pro gets additional money:
+50 Euro, when handicap was 2,
+100 Euro, when handicap was 3,
+200 Euro, when handicap was 4,
+300 Euro, when handicap was 5.

Ingo.
