Hi, Please excuse a message from an average chess player who is just starting to get into computer chess. Apparently, "everyone" knows what type of "analysis" the various programs can perform, so manufacturer's web sites and review articles don't often discuss the exact type of output the program can provide. I am trying to find a chess software program that can analyze my past games; lost ones in particular. In other words, I want a program to identify those moves that let the game slip away, and why they were bad. In analysis programs, are bad moves annotated only with a "?" or "??", or a score based on a certain sequence of continuation, English text analysis? Some programs with text analysis seem to be able to only look ahead and suggest good moves. They don't describe in text what was wrong with a given past move. Can an inexpensive program provide the depth of analysis I am looking for? I don't want to spend a lot of money on a program that I can't try out ahead of time and can't return. Any suggestions for a first purchase software package for an average player? Thanks so much, Richard
