[computer-go] Where and How to Test the Strong Programs?

[Don Dailey]

I was wondering if gogui could be used - it would have to emulate a go
program somehow.   But gogui is a controller, not a program.

However I know it comes with all kinds of filters to do various
things.   If it can be made to act like a go engine (where a human is
the "brains") then it could be connected to the cgo3.tcl script directly.
