Note that this was made for a AI-vs-AI tourney, not to play against human players, so there's no cheating in going beyond human interface limitations.
But they did play it against human players because the in-game AI wasn't a challenge in the least.
If the human interfaces you're referring to are brain+hands or keyboard+mouse, then yes they obviously go beyond them. But the way it's interacting with the client is the same.
