While my clusters are big enough, at this time there are some physics
calculations taking place on all the nodes I am not using for just one
SlugGo. I am having great fun and learning a great deal with SlugGo,
but a PhD student needs the other result to finish, so I give him  
priority
right now.

So, at this time I will only enter SlugGo in one division. In the  
near future
we should set up a private match of some number of games.

At this time I have not heard from the GNU Go list if I have their  
permission
to enter SlugGo, although in a chat session on kgs with Gunnar he said
that he sent a reply to this list and his answer is "fine with me."

I would like at least one more comment before I officially register with
Nick ... but if I hear nothing I will assume that one yes and not any no
votes means yes.

Cheers,
David
