I think there has been a marked change of interest since the
introduction of UCT, and - around the same time - the cgos 9x9
tournament page.

I understand that most people do their experiments on 9x9, the results
are available so much faster. Still, I think it might be time to loosen
the focus on 9x9, and have some more things happening on other sizes.

Would there be interest in a tournament system for 19x19 programs?
Something like 30 mins / player sounds like a reasonable extrapolation.
