Re: [gtp] GUI command subset

SGF is still the de-facto standard. This is not going to change any time soon. Even your GUI Quarry allows to add setup or remove stones at any position in the game tree. Why would you not allow to attach a Go engine to such a position? I can understand that a normal user mainly wants to play games with a Go engine. But a Go programmer needs to load SGF documents, attach his Go engine to it, and run different commands on the position.

I never said I was against the command. I only said it should really be optional. GTP is supposed to be easy to implement, let's not force many commands that are not really needed on the developers.
