Analysing games

3.5.1

Infinite analysis
M e nu: H o m e

Infinite a na ly s is (o r Alt- F2)

Note: Before starting a game is to be noted that the program is set after the first
start on the Infinite analysis mode. Experience has shown that most users set the
program for analyzing your own games. So you have to select a Playing level first
before you can play directly against the program.
This puts the program into a special mode where it does not reply when you enter a
move but instead simply analyses the position on the board. You can now enter all the
moves of a game.
Clicking the same menu or pressing Alt-F2 again switches back to normal game mode.
There is also a button in the toolbar at the top to start and stop infinite analysis.

3.5.2

Evaluation of the position
Chess engines evaluate positions with the help of a numeric value. The evaluation is
expressed in pawn units, always from the point of view of White. If the program is
displaying a value of +1.30, this means that it considers the white position to be
better by the equivalent of 1.3 pawns. If White is actually a pawn up, then the
additional 0.3 is the result of positional considerations (mobility, deployment of pieces,
king safety, pawn structure, etc.). A display of –3.00 means that White is a piece
down – either a bishop or a knight, which are both equivalent to about three pawns.
