Yes, I do understand Alpha/Beta. Many a times, a pgm will have a tough time
deciding/alternating between move A or B or C, and, and it is these move A and B
and C that I want to see in the written analysis. Also, if the top 3 variations
is displayed on the screen, it gotta be also possible to save to a file, won't
you say? :)
