This is simple.   Ask for another computer account and play 2 copies
of your program to debug.

Or just play manually against your program as a guest.  When both your
program and you pass, the protocol should kick in.

Or if you need, I can put up a copy of my program that will accept
challenges only from your program.  The protocol is debugged and works
fine with my program.

Or put up a copy of gnugo (only for this test) which is set to only accept
challenges from your program.
