That depends a lot on the functionality of the program. What I would like to be able to do is to travel the search tree freely while the engine analyses the root position, and then arbitrarily prune some moves for the program (at any depth), i.e. to tell the engine "do not even bother to consider this move in this position". I would use it only on very obvious mistakes. I do not know if any current program allows what I have in mind. José.
