Hi,

I which I had time. But if I had time I would like to rewrite all. Only use the knowledge about the algorithms inside GNUGo. And try to make them parallel. And I would probably try to do that with C++11/14, if just the state of the concurrency/parallelism could get more stable. But that is just my interest. And as Thien say, I would probably do it as a libgnugo and use it from there. But where is the time ......

It's intriguing that the thought of a library has come up twice.

There's a "public interface" defined in engine/gnugo.h, and I notice the build process spits out a couple static libraries (libboard.a and libengine.a). So, at least superficially, it looks like some of the needed abstraction is already there.

Perhaps a shared library would be a manageable project (and a way for me to wade into the code)?
