Where on the web?

This is starting to sound somewhat confused but it may help to know
that all this is regular expression matching (except an initial "!"
which is interpreted as a negation of the match result). Thus this
example from ld_owl.tst

loadsgf games/life_and_death/ld2.sgf
5 dragon_status B18
#? [critical (B19|E19) (B19|E19|F18|F19)]

means that either of the following 8 results of the dragon_status
command count as passed:

critical B19 B19
critical B19 E19
critical B19 F18
critical B19 F19
critical E19 B19
critical E19 E19
critical E19 F18
critical E19 F19
