I'll try this one.  Although it's a lot easier to just let the program go
through the whole game and identify the moves it considers to be a blunder.
Probably not the best way for analyzing one's games. :)

You're correct here.  But I do like to see how the move made compares with what
the program "thinks".  I usually set the delta to 10 centipawns ( although in
some games almost every move can be considered a blunder :) ) and its nice to
know at a glance how your move stacks up against the engine's suggestion(s) as
in CA5.
