I just joined the maillist, so here's my ritual first-and-probably-dumb question: I tried gGo because the gnugo page said it supported GTP, and it does something similar to GTP V2 spec, but with differences such as: "black A1" instead of "play black A1" "genmove_black" instead of "genmove black"
Is it just wrong, or is this an earlier GTP version?
"genmove_black" and "genmove_white" is an earlier GTP version. You are right, for V2 is should be "genmove black". Same with the move commands.
However, gGo still uses the older commands, as GNU Go 3.2 does not understand "play" or "genmove", while GNU Go 3.3.X understands both. So to keep the compatibility with the current stable GNU Go release the older GTP specification is still used by gGo. I will change gGo to GTP V2 once the next stable GNU Go release is based on GTP V2.
