Re: [computer-go] engine + gui protocol?

[Jason House <jhouse@xxxxxxxxx>]

kgsgtp is a program that allows you to connect to kgs.  As long as you 
support gtp, you can use a number of gui's.

Personally, I find a bit of a lack to the gui's and/or gtp protocol in 
that I can't query the engine and/or have the engine spontaneously 
report status as much as I'd like.  There's no way on KGS, for instance, 
for the engine to "chat" at (or with) you.
