Re: computer-go: gnugoclient 2.0

Is  there  agreement that  if  your  Go  engine  does not implement  a
command, it should return something like "not_implemented" ?

The idea of a minimal set is  guaranteed compatibility.  I can't write
a good interface  without 'undo', but I  at least could write one that
reports back  to  me that "undo"  is not  supported by the  underlying
engine.

How difficult is it to get undo into play_gtp?

     It seems to me that undo is a basic command for GTP, whether gnugo 
   implements it successfully or not. If the point is to make GTP a 
   standard, it has to be in there...
