Re: [gnugo-devel] GNU Go at Gifu Challenge 2005

[David G Doshay]

I briefly considered taking SlugGo over, particularly because I was 
just at the 3rd International Conference on Baduk in Korea, but I 
decided that shipping a cluster on an international flight with the 
present state of our Transportation Security Admin was just too much 
trouble. Maybe next year.

I'm glad that GNU Go is participating. I heard from someone who knows 
David Fotland that this will be a new version of Many Faces.


Cheers,
David
