Well, seeing as GoFigure only plays 9x9, and SlugGo only 19x19, we're
not exactly in competition :)

I have no objections to letting SlugGo play, and would be interested

I may or may not be entering GoFigure in tournaments in the near
future; there are some things I want to change with it, perhaps before
new tournaments.
