I wonder how can Taktix play a game against human with white
with no go command?


Here is start of winboard debug when I want to tell movei to play a game with
white against me(it should be the same for every engine because all the commands
are of winboard).

I see no reason to have a special human mode.
Movei will play in the opening position if it gets a go command or if it gets a
move.
