computer-go: Autonomous computer-go programs

[Reggie Adkins <reggieadkins@xxxxxxx>]

All,

I am new to computer-go. I want to use genetic algorithms to evolve go 
playing programs. To do so, my programs need to autonomously play each 
other as well other programs. In order to "train" the evolved programs, 
it is necessary to play hundreds, if not thousands of go games without 
any human intervention.

Any suggestion on how I might be able to use gnugo to do this? The ideal 
would be to plug in two software players using a standard interface 
(pipes? the go modem protocol?) and obtain statics on who won and how 
much territory each player gained.

Thanks.
