[Computer-go] Beating old ManyFaces at 29 handicap stones

[ds]

I unpacked my nice packed version from 1991 again, but it seems that it
does not implement even the go modem protocol. At least it is not in the
printed (!) user manual:)

If somebody knows more, I would let my version play on KGS. This should
not make it to easy to tune for the 1999 version, but to get an idea how
to play a weak opponent.
