With all the talk about Michi (which is very nice btw, Petr!), I figured now would be a good time to do a little more work on my old super-minimalist obfuscated Go engine, and finally show it off to the world. Cogito was mostly written in 2008/2009, I only did some cleaning up/bug fixing/shrinking.
At current count, using the IOCCC rules, there are only 1891 characters of C source code, or 2277 bytes if counted normally. It only uses basic UCT with no eye-filling. I might try experimenting with adding more heuristics, perhaps RAVE, as long as there isn't too much code required. The code is certainly twisted and unintelligible, but I might be convinced to write up some explanation of the code structure and what all the one-character variable names mean... Cogito has a simple terminal interface, but currently no way to play through gtp. I once had a shell script that would interface it with CGOS (where it played a bit in ~2009, with a rating of something like 1300), but it's been lost. I might whip up a little adapter script in Python if there's interest. For just playing a terminal game, there's some instructions in the readme.
