I am a big fan of UCI, and it would be great if we could use a similar interface for go.
The only part I would probably not try to reproduce for go is the pondering scheme. In chess assuming the opponent had moved the predicted move was the most popular choice by far, so it was ok to have it ingrained in the protocol, but in go this is not the case and we should probably expect the engine to indicate PV lines that include the opponent's next move.

Sounds good, but the xboard protocol is also very nice. Though a UGI sounds like a good step. -Josh On 4/11/07, Chrilly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am implementing currently for the Suzie-GUI GTP-2.
