I am in touch with the organizers. They have asked me to give a lecture 
about computer-go. Maybe one can organize around this a 9x9 match humans 
against Suzie. Some sort of practical lecture. One has to give the humans 
some (small) incentive to take the match serious. E.g. at the Vienna chess 
open I played once with Nimzo Blitz. Every player had to pay 1$. The money 
was put in a pot and the first winner of a game got the pot. This was 
extremly popular and some players even went away during their games to hit 
the jack-pot.

 I do not plan to play in the official part of the tournament. There is up 
to my knowledge anyway no 9x9 tournament and if it is, an EC is for humans 
and not for computers.
