3.7 Computer Go Tournaments

Computer Tournaments currently use the Go Modem Protocol. The current method followed in such tournaments is to connect the serial ports of the two computers by a “null modem” cable. If you are running GNU/Linux it is convenient to use CGoban. If your program is black, set it up in the Go Modem Protocol Setup window as usual. For White, select “Device” and set the device to /dev/cua0 if your serial port is COM1 and /dev/cua1 if the port is COM2.
