Using the Katago engine

[cleinias]

I would like to allow the use of the katago engine in goreviewpartner. Where would you suggest I start from? I tried cloning the leela_zero_analysis class and change the relevant parameters to Katago's to see how far it would get me. Not very far, it turned out. Even the interaction with the engine does not get started---grp gets stuck waiting for an answer from katago. It seems the protocol is slightly different. Do you have any suggestions?

I tried adding the Katago engine in the gtp bots settings and was able to get it to output a single move using the test function. The engine would not appear in the drop down menu when attempting when going to analyze a game. I imagine you're correct that there is something missing. But I don't know enough to understand it.

Also, I tried to use the -gtp help function in the test command line but this would just output errors.

FWIW, the GTPBots do not have the functionality to actually generate reviews. There's a lot of custom code that goes into support for each of the bots that do support reviews. I'm not sure why GTP bots are an option. Likely, just a work in progress.
