Yes, the whole idea is to build your own bot and if you wish, try to
make it run as fast as possible.   I will test it for conformance in
black box style so you can cheat if you can fool my tests.   Hopefully
it will be difficult not to follow the standard and still pass the
stringent tests.   If you pass the test, then they are compared for
speed in a competitive fashion. 

That's why I don't specify the random number generator or specifically
how moves are to be uniformly randomly selected.  If you specify that
moves are selected randomly,  how can you then give a specific algorithm
for exactly how to do this?   It ceases to become random.    Of course
it's understood that they won't be truly random but like real pseudo
random number generators all you have to do is fool the best known
tests.
