OK, I took a peek this morning. The JAR-file is in fact there. The only thing that may be confusing (if you don't read the documentation) is that it's a plug-in architecture. So to run the ref-bots, you need to drop the JAR-file and the XML-description to the directory that contains the GoEngineGTP.jar.
To make it even easier, I added it to the archive that contains the binaries. So all you need to do now is put the following in the command-line: "java -jar GoEngineGTP.jar" (After you download the CGOS.zip, obviously) That will prompt you with a list of engines available to run. If you don't want the prompt, you can add the name of the engine you want to use to the command-line. So that would be "java -jar GoEngineGTP.jar TesujiRefBot" for the ref-bot that just uses AMAF. Or use "java -jar GoEngineGTP.jar MCTSRefBot" for the one using MC-UCT with light playouts. Note that there's also a AMAFRefBot defined in there. This is actually the MCTSRefBot with the node-expansion threshold set to the number of playouts, which should be equivalent to straight AMAF. Edit TesujiRefBot.xml to set the desired number of playouts. The CGOSClient program automatically connects your engine to 9x9 CGOS. If nothing changed in CGOS over the past year that is. Let me know if that works for you.
