If I understand corrcetly, you want to see the chess trees the program is
thinking, and then manually mark them? This would be an impossible task IMO as
the number of lines and moves analyzed is going to be too large for a human to
analyze in a game. The best option, provided I understood what you mean, would
be to use the learning functions of the top programs and play them in Advanced
Chess/Centaur mode (Centaur being how it is called in Playchess):

Play a move in the analysis, watch the results. Try a few moves ahead, and see
the results. Then go back, and see if the engine changes it's opinion or
evaluation thanks to the hash of the forward analysis. As a rule, short
analysis, but using intelligent forward and backward analysis, is the best way
to play this form of chess, as opposed to letting the engine think a long time
on a single move.

If you meant something else, please explain.
