[Nick Wedd]

The January 2008 KGS computer Go tournament will be this Sunday, January 
6th, in the Asian night, European evening and American morning, starting 
at 17:00 UTC (GMT) and ending about 21:00 UTC (GMT).

The Formal division will be an 8-round Swiss with 9x9 boards and 13 
minutes each sudden death.  The Open division will be a 4-round Swiss 
with 13x13 boards and 28 minutes each sudden death.  Both will use 
Chinese rules with 7.5 points komi. There are details at

Registration is now open.  To enter, please read and follow, as usual, 
the instructions at http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/how/index.html.  The 
rules are given at http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/rules.html.

Registration emails (with the words "KGS Tournament Registration" in the 
title as usual) should be sent to me at maproom at gmail dot com 
(converted to a valid address in the obvious way).

I apologise for making this announcement late.  I had been suffering 
from a cold which was not at all serious, except that it greatly reduced 
my competence at any task requiring thought.

Nick
