Not really. For the longest, +=good for the program(s). Because that is the way search works. But it is not hard to invert the sign after a "black search" to make it consistent... I have crafty comment on games (human GM tournament games) on the chess servers, and it became apparent that I had to display the output like this or else forever answer the question "Is + good for the side on move for for white?" Of course, after fixing this I _still_ get the same question. :) > > >>I have on my to-do list to standardize _all_ evaluation output with respect >>to white. > >Nice to know this too! > > >> I too think it is confusing.
