I don't think Zillions is a good starting point, or in fact if it can be
of any use at all for what you want. What I understood is that the Zillions
'GUI' can only handle a single engine, not two (for playing against each
other) as all real GUIs (such as WinBoard, Arena, Shredder, Fritz). So it
could never be used to couple an AI to a game server. It can at most be a
replacement for entering moves and displaying the board over the normal
browser-based representation. For which there is very little need, as GC
already does a pretty good job at that.

With only a single connection, the Zillions GUI is a dead end...
