Ah, i forgot to put the links to example broadcasts: Our recent broadcast of the Bailing cup semifinals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXCkkC341L8 A live game from the recent US Go Congress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3lPUKSQU3g (commentary starts ~45 minutes in)
BTW, i'd like to point out that this doesn't necessarily need to be stunningly strong or accurate, although a stronger engine would certainly do a better job!
