What's insane about it? To me, what Jim O'Flaherty stated is common sense in the field of patents, and any patent attorney would attest to that. If I may add, Jim's last sentence should read "Google's patent application" instead of "Google's patent". The difference is huge, and this may be in

To me (a weak Go player), the priorities on parameter changes from Fuseki, to when counting score on the board becomes relatively accurate, to Yose / end-game. So I've been using different parameters for different stages in a game for my non-MCTS non-DCNN traditional-logic engine for a long time,

gogui-regress is used when you already have a (large) set of tests to run for the program. A test is made up with 1. Load a specified sgf file, 2. go to a specified Move, 3. issue genmove command to the program, 4. tell me if the program's response is XX or not. gogui-display is used when you
