Some people have trouble with access to KGTP website. You can access
kgtp through svn:

svn checkout http://kgtp.googlecode.com/svn/ kgtp-read-only
kgtp-read-only/tags/ This directory have each release of KGTP.
The debug of this KGTP is open, please open gtp.c file remove line
"#define GTP_DEBUG KERN_WARNING" to close it.

Thanks,
Hui
