Consecutive moves of the same color are not considered illegal

thanks for the confirmation.

That is clearly stated in the GTP but should also depend on the program.

There are improvements a computer Go program can make assuming it is 
playing only as one of the players, such as cleaning states from a 
transpositions table that cannot be reached anymore. I'd assume if you 
want to benchmark something it would be better to only have each GTP 
player play one of the colors, unless the authors of said program 
explicitly say it doesn't matter.
