You don't have to do it, it's just a provision to allow your bot to play legal games. The tester probably won't require it since it will just be looking for statistics from specified (random) positions. A more comprehensive test is to play games with these reference bots and check to see if any are straying too far from 50% scores against the others. Your program could still participate, although it would probably lose slightly more than the others due to the occasionally superko loss. Hopefully, this comprehensive tester could identify just from the game statistics that something is wrong. - Don
