I think I am going to to use a simple, single command
format for giving the engine information about the
game and players.
It will be:
cgos-gameinfo gameID whitePlayer blackPlayer
This keeps it simple, there is only one GTP command
to implement and no sub-commands to parse separately.
Of course it's an optional command and will not get
sent if your engine doesn't implement the command.
Here is an example from CGOS:
cgos-gameinfo 19040 gnugo_3.7.9(1755) FatMan(1800)
I don't see a need to identify which player is YOUR bot.
If you need to know, you can tell when you recieve the
first "genmove b" or "genmove w" command.
