Hi Jaco,

I have found exactly the same thing, with the full analysis feature being aimed
more towards beginning players in my opinion, particularly with the usually
irrelevant text commentry!

Not only does the Blunder Check option give more analytical depth, it can also
check embedded variations, which is very useful as I like to add my analytical
thoughts immediately after playing a game. Using Blunder Check I can then check
the calculations my decisions were based upon, in addition to the moves of the
game itself.

Just my 2c worth...

Regards,

Nick :)
