It seems from the set of replies that computer Go wishes to retain
what I see an an artificial but generally accepted limitation of one
hour per program, with possible exceptions in some tournaments
which allow for byo-yomi. I see the point of the convenience factor
and have no choice but to either comply or not attend, but I do not
think it is a good thing for the evolution of computer Go.



Just to add another data point, I have to agree with David.




I disagree.

David has done some interesting work which I'm sure we all applaud.

But ultimately I see no good reason why he can't compete under the 
same rules as everyone else has been.  Anything else would seem unfair 
to those who have designed their programs to stick to the rules.







They designed their programs "to stick to the rules"?  Or is it rather 
that their programs are incapable of making effective use of additional 
time?
