As all of the other posters have stated, that isn't what I consider analysis. If
we're going to talk about this kind of cryptic analysis, then even Fritz is
better, since it at least gives a score which tells you more than the "analysis"
that was given on that website. Perhaps we were all expecting something great,
like analysis in English, and were disappointed. I think even I could write a
program to give some simple analysis in English and reasons why it made a move
and reasons why it didn't make other moves. Of course it would be repetitive,
like, "The move [insert move here] was best because [insert reason here]." Then
you could give it commands to ask why it rejected a certain line, and it would
give a standard line of, "The move [insert move here] was rejected because
[insert reason here]." The reasons would probably be like, "white has superior
mobility after the move [insert move here]" and "black's king is potentially
unsafe after the move [insert move here]". It would take some work to get it all
working smoothly, but if there is a team working on this sort of thing, I would
think that they would at least have something on par with what I described
above, or something like what the Chessmaster series' have had at least.
