From that page (the weird numbering is a cut-and-paste artifact):
Have a mix of algorithms to avoid mono-culture problems.
I'd be happy to have Orego included in the mix.
Use engines that aren't affected by the time limit to avoid variation
between different PCs
You can set a specific number of playouts per move with a command-line
option.
Use engines that are stable enough to be left running for long periods
unattended
Orego has run for days (weeks?) unattended.
Use engines that understand the CGOS rules e.g. do they capture all
stones at the end
I believe Orego does this. It only passes if it judges that it can win
even if its own dead stones are removed, but the opponent's dead
stones are left on the board. Even then, it will usually only pass if
the opponent passes first. Orego will resign if it falls too far behind.
Be able to run successfully on low end machines
Not a problem.

devoted to engines that meet certain criteria: http://computergo.wikispaces.com/CGOS+Standard+Engine+Packs
Orego is not among those engines. I am not sure why.

I thought it already was one. What is the obstacle?
(I don't have a spare machine to run it on, but anyone else is
welcome to do so.)

Is it now possible to make Orego into a "standard opponent" on CGOS?

Thanks Peter. I started using Orego for some of my experiments 2-3
years ago (version 3 I think) and I always found it very
accessible, particularly as I'm not a strong programmer. I'd
recommend it to anyone, whether you want to experiment with MCTS or
other types of evaluation.

The latest version of Orego can be found here:
https://webdisk.lclark.edu/drake/orego/orego-7.08.jar
I've spent some time cleaning up the code; this version is
particularly well-documented and devoid of dead-end experiments.
Anyone who wants to start experimenting with computer Go in Java
should find it particularly useful.
I'll be happy to answer any questions about setting it up and using
Orego.
