Two variants will be difficult enough to support. If it's possible to build an
infrastructure to permit volunteers to put their spare cycles to work for a
various periods of time ( something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] ), perhaps there
would be enough spare capacity to test a variety of programs.

You missed 11x11.
I used to test a lot with 11x11. I think it's a great size, a big
step up from 9x9 and more go-like than 9x9 but still easy to test.
But I agree with Heikki - we probably don't want too many variants.
Perhaps I set up 19x19 tomorrow on Dave Dyers server.
I'm think 20 minutes per player - 30 minutes is better but there
would be a lot of waiting around - up to 1 hour per game.
Taking votes now. 15, 20 or 30?
