[Computer-go] Running automated bot matches?

[Joona Kiiski]

Hi everyone,

During the last week I've been examining sources of different open source
go-engines (fuego, pachi, orego).
Now I'd like to start making some simple modifications to some of them (not
yet decided which one) and
see how it goes (likely my 50 first tries will fail miserably, but it's
okay).

In computer chess programming, it's nowadays a widely accepted fact that
only reasonable way to test changes is to run a huge number of test games
between original and modified version. I assume that same applies also for
go-programming.

So, let us have open-source program X and slightly modified version it X'.
What is the easiest way to run say 1000 super-fast games between them? I
hope there already exists some scripts or programs to do this.

My OS is Linux if it matters.

Thanks for your help!
