gnugoclient-3.0
by Gunnar Farneb�ck 14 Sep '04

14 Sep '04

I have released gnugoclient version 3.0. Gnugoclient is a program which can be used to connect GNU Go and other go programs to NNGS and compatible servers and have it play games without supervision. The requirement on the go program is that it supports the Go Text Protocol (GTP) and can communicate either over TCP/IP or via pipes. Gnugoclient is written in Pike and should work on any platform where Pike is available, which means almost any brand of Unix plus Windows. It has been developed on Debian GNU/Linux and tested on Solaris 9. It has also been briefly tested on Windows XP and at least the basic functionality seems to work. New features compared to version 2.0: * GTP version 2 compliant. GTP version 1 support remains but is deprecated and untested. * Simplified configuration. * Support for connecting to GTP engines both over pipes and TCP/IP. * Automatic level adjustment removed. Time information is now sent with GTP commands, leaving level adjustment to the engines. * Works with GNU Go 2.7.245 and later and other GTP compliant go engines. * Specific support for the Gifu 2004 tournament. Further information and a download link are available at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gunnar/gnugo/gnugoclient /Gunnar

No I?
by Chris Spencer 11 Sep '04

I suppose this may be explained somewhere, but I've been at a lose to discover it. Why do GTP coordinates not use the letter I? SGF uses I, or at least doesn't mention it explicitly (http://www.red-bean.com/sgf/go.html). Most non-GTP go board markups I've seen use I. Sensei's Library lists some answers to this question, but they seem fairly vague and inconclusive. Is there a real reason or is it just convention? Chris

resignation support in clients?
by Arend Bayer 03 Sep '04

The upcoming GNU Go 3.6 release will be able to resign games. (This is already included in the latest development version 3.5.10.) It would of course be nice if as many GTP clients as possible would support this feature by the time it gets released. Arend
