Engines

GTP engines are configured in config/engines.enabled folder. Every file in this folder describes an engine that will be loaded. Misconfigured engine can easily crash the program, at the moment. Also playing an unsupported board size can cause strange behaviour.

The configuration file example:

./engine/leela
leelaz.exe
--quiet --gtp -w ./engine/8ef6a92408fadf7330556aa05e1575851672d6b46e12c52242d2a84996ccb7c7.gz
LZ 0.16 x64 GPU 8ef6a924
0

which contains

1. path to folder with engine executable (will be searched beside default PATH)
2. name of the engine executable
3. command line parameters
4. name displayed in the GUI
5. 0/1 ... whether it is the main coach engine observing the game and executing rules

GnuGo is required as the main engine, as the Goban relies on its showboard command output and territory analysis.
