[Computer-go] CrazyStone in the 5-dan footsteps of Zen

[Christian Nilsson]

Concerning _abusive_ players..

After some googling I finally found a log file from kgsgtp ( I haven't
had a bot online for years, thus googling! ). What I've been looking
for is if the name of your opponent is shown in the logs or output of
kgsgtp. It appears this may be the case:

"FINER: Got challenge from "<insert name>", testing engine response."

Of course this could have been from an old version, but if this is
still being written to a log or output. Maybe you can use it for
access control? Simply keep a list of players you wish to exclude and
either resign at move 1 ( shouldn't count right? ) or if it is
displayed before the game starts you could decline one of the settings
making it impossible for them to start a game?

Perhaps someone would be willing to have a look at their output/logs?
