Hi Henry, If you have already implemented your own web front end, I would suggest allowing your users to play one another or else connect to a GTP client also running on your host. GnuGo is a decent one and GTP is a fairly simple protocol. I don't think any other servers are intended to act as back ends to other, light weight web apps.
