Sounds good, but the xboard protocol is also very nice. Though a UGI sounds like a good step.

I am implementing currently for the Suzie-GUI GTP-2. I think this protocoll has a number of shortcomings. a) There is only a very strange way to setup an arbitrary position. b) A state must be maintained between moves. c) There is no way to get a main-variaton and the score of a move (Not yet invented in most Go-programms, but a must have for search based programms). UCI is the "Universal Chess Interface" originally developed by Stefan Meyer-Kahlen and Rudolf Huber (see attached specification). It has become the defacto standard in chess. This interface is in my opinion much better than GTP. I think GTP-3 should be modelled as close as possible to UCI. The move-format has to be changed and the parameters "komi" and "boardsize" have to be added. The format to setup a position has also be changed slightly. An adaption can be found in SuzieFen.txt. There is no need for a handicap command, because this is just a special case of setting up an arbitrary position.
