RE: [computer-go] 2004 Olympiad - GTP, GMP, "manual", ...... ?

In the past, you could either make moves manually on a board, or implement
the
Go Modem Protocol, and ancient (pre-internet), way for go programs to talk
through
an rs-232 cable.  I don't know what the requirements are for the tournament
in Israel.
