Hello David, thank you for bringing up this topic. I think, time is really ripe for the go community to get such an interface.

And then I would start nerving Remi, Yamato San, GianCarlo Pascutto, Frank Karger and ... until their babies would be available for it ;-) It would be nice when the interface would allow unattended series of (test) games between two engines. > It would be easy for me to enable the gtp server interface in the free > trial > download, or I could charge some nominal amount for a version with the GTP > interface, some of the analysis options, but no strong MFGO engine > (perhaps $19). In chess the ChessBase company did a medium approach: They are also developing and selling the Fritz engines. Several years ago, when Fritz8 was the current version, they offered a semi-cheap interface which included Fritz5 and some other free engines as a starting stock for the user. An analogon for a ManyFaces-based platform might be a semi-cheap program (perhaps $39 ?), including ManyFaces11.000 and perhaps Leela0.316 and/or some other bots for 9x9 or 13x13 only.
