If you save your game in a PGN file, you can then run Crafty from the DOS
prompt, and enter the command "annotate" or "annotateh" (which saves the game
and analysis in a printable HTML file). There are parameters for this command,
described in Crafty's doc file, so you can set which range of moves is analyzed,
the time to be spent on each move, the margin of evaluation difference when
Crafty will annotate (for instance, for blunder checking only, a margin of about
1.00 would suffice), and some other options as well. I actually prefer the way
Crafty does this to the Chessbase programs' automatic annotation, where the line
is often truncated, no numerical evaluation is given, and space is wasted on
inane verbiage that often betrays the program's lack of understanding.
