Hi Hena

i recently began to put my hands in GNU Go, and can share some clues :

- simplest and fun: run with -t option (trace explains everything)
 gnugo -t -l gnugo-seki-error.sgf -L45

- nice graphic display: -T (show color boards)
 gnugo -T -l gnugo-seki-error.sgf -L45

- The best interactive tool is the wonderful Gogui. It gives access to many
 things (show analyse, show shell) inside the engine through GTP commands. 

- Read the fabulous documentation :) and use debug options 
 (gnugo --help / --help debug / --debug-flags)

- Read the patches in trac.gnugo.org, to see how things works and slowly
 understand the engine.

- try something, see how it works/breaks.
