Hi everyone,

The maximum number of programs for this tournament will be 20 -

so if you are author of a new go-program (running on Windows98!)
that isn´t on that list and you want me to let it participate, 
please contact me as soon as possible -

or if you are the author of a go-program on that list
and you want to let participate a newer version of your program,
please contact me as well!

Some programs only play 19x19-Go (e.g. FUNGO) 
and will therefore only be included in
the third part of my CGoT-Trilogy  ;-)


MANY THANKS
to all programmers of good go software
and everybody who helps making my tournaments
to become a representative overview of todays computer-go!
