8 years ago Hi Petr,
Sorry for the confusion. The initial DF code was indeed inspired by Pachi (Thanks you very much!). Currently it uses its own pattern library in patternv2.c, and hence does not rely on pachi code. But I agree there is a confusion by putting pattern.c in the ./board directory. I will clean it up and put the line you suggested in the README.md file.
Best, Yuandong

Hi! I'm glad you found Pachi useful when developing darkforest. It seems to me that besides the unused-by-default pachi-tactics/ code, pieces of the board/ code also were inspired by Pachi, in the pattern and policy modules in particular, is that a correct impression?
I don't think what you did is a licence problem wrt. GPL or anything, for a variety of specific reasons. I'm happy it helped. But if you agree that a mention in the README near the bottom like "Some portions of the tactics and pattern code were inspired by the Pachi engine." would be appropriate, I'd be glad to see it mentioned. :-)
