We welcomed a new person to this event: Jean-loup Gailly, who is working on pachi. His contributions to the pachi2 that competed included improvements to time management and to memory management, but did not directly involve the move generating code.
In round 1, stv's operator stated "kgsgtp disconnected stv without a clear reason". He was able to reboot stv, and it resumed and won its game against break19, despite some lost time.
In round 2, valkyria19 was disconnected by something local to it. It was rebooted, and resumed its game against AyaMC, but was now short of time, and lost on time.
CzechBot (a build of MoGo) had registered for the event, did not appeared on KGS. Towards the end on round 3, I decided that it was not going to appear, and removed it from the draw.
In round 4, pachi2 timed out in its game against PueGo, in a lost position. It had taken between four and six seconds for each of its previous ten moves, then used all its remaining 211 seconds without moving at all, so it seems likely that something was wrong.

In the round 8 game between PueGo and AyaMC SGF they reached the position shown to the left. White, PueGo, is a few points ahead here even if it passes. The black group at the top left is dead (it has only one eye), and the black group midway down the left side is very dead (it has only one liberty). However, PueGo played at 1 filling a vital own liberty, and continued with 3, which loses the game. On move 4, Puego's estimate of its probability of winning dropped from 0.92 to 0.07 and it resigned.

In the round 10 game between Zen19 and AyaMC
SGF
AyaMC as Black played out a losing ladder, as shown to the right. This gave White
a huge advantage, which in typical MC fasion it converted into a half-point win.
(Technically, AyaMC lost on time on move 454, 167 moves after the last dame
had been filled.)
