The quickest way to analyze most positions is to use the tool view.pike in the regression directory. It can be started with a testcase specified, e.g. pike view.pike strategy:40 or at a move in an sgf file, e.g. pike view.pike mistake.sgf:125. When started it shows the position on a grapical board on which it also marks information like move values, dragon status, and so on. By clicking on the board further information about the valuation of moves, contents of various data structures, and other data can be made available.
Specific information on how to use view.pike for influence tuning can be found in See Influence Tuning.
