Post subject:	Setting up a bot
Hello all, I'm interested in eventually setting up my own go-playing program bot on the online go servers. Two questions: Which servers provide for this possibility, and can anyone point me in the direction of where the information is online on how to do that for each? I am aware that KGS does (not sure how to go about it though), but I am wondering if the others allow for it as well (pandanet, and the rest). Thanks for any info that can get me going!

Generally, your bot has to implement the GTP protocol (http://senseis.xmp.net/?GTP). Once you're at the link, click on the link on that page for "kgsGTP" to see the KGS-specific details, for instance. [Update] Searching on this forum for "bot" or "GTP" could also be profitable. Here's a thread that gives links to open-source (or maybe not) go engines that implement GTP, so you may be able to find some code that will get you started: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=10665&hilit=gtp+bot Finally, here is a list of links from the KGS Computer Go room. There may be something useful here: Discuss & test computer Go http://www.michna.com/kgsbot.htm Download bot client from: http://www.gokgs.com/download.jsp http://www.computer-go.info/ http://senseis.xmp.net/?KGSbots http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gunnar/gtp http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/list ... mputer-go/ http://cgos.boardspace.net/

Thanks Gohst - very helpful info! It seems KGS is the place for bots - does anyone know if any other server allows for them?
