Go Text Protocol ( GTP ) is a protocol used by some engines to play go on a computer. Successor to Go Modem Protocol. The protocol is well suited for communication between game engines and shells both on the same computer and over the network. The first version of GTP was first implemented in GNU Go version 3.0, and this implementation is considered the reference. Gnu Go version 3.4 implements the second version of the protocol, which is also a reference. The standard of the second version is in a draft state, so any disagreements and ambiguities are resolved by comparison with the implementation of Gnu Go.
Despite the fact that the protocol was developed specifically for go, it is also suitable for other games, for example, reverse .
