The reason why I decided this way was because the chess engines are getting strong and stronger each year, and I can use the chess engines to do the annotations. It's not perfect, but, at least with the chess engines making the annotations, it will eliminated any tactical errors in the human analysis, and avoid any "bad and wrong" lines done on purpose to catch the unaware chessplayer. My 2 cents worth. Laurence
