In this case you should look at GTP protocol. It will allow you to have a separate program and not link with GNU Go. Thus you will not need to worry about internals.

Paul dear sir first of all i would like to thank u for your help , we find that implementing the project with GTP willnot be our trend , we need another database we can know all its internals & access & modify it , if u can help us by telling me another database we can access in our project (rather than GNU) , if there isnot pls tell us another way to implement GO thank u & waiting for ur reply wael hany --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Please reply to address@hidden or CC there, so that others can
help you too.

In this case you should look at GTP protocol. It will allow you to
have a separate program and not link with GNU Go. Thus you will not
need to worry about internals.

You can find description of GTP at

http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gunnar/gtp/

(see the GTP 2 draft).

To start GNU Go in GTP mode run it from command line as

gnugo --mode gtp --quiet

Before you ask: I doubt anyone on the list knows C# or how to create
process with pipes on it (this question is often asked by Windows
programmers). In general, we can help you with understanding GTP,
but not with specific programming questions.
