Let's say 'game client' is a graphical app that a human player can use to 
play Go, and 'Go engine' is an AI program that plays the game automatically.

As far as I know, there are two kinds of protocols:
- For either a normal game client or a computer Go engine to talk to a 
network server to play against other people; or,
- For a local game client to talk to a local Go engine.

I think the comment you found is about the latter.

However, I couldn't find unambiguous information about this online, so I may 
be wrong.
