1. does it have information about
    a) search depth
    b) evaluation
    c) main-line

2. does it use tablebases like USCF ?
3. can you input a position ?
4. can you play a game from the root in 2 player mode and let the engine
   compute at a certain move you like to analyse ?

USCF would do this all. BUT: sometimes the engine is forced to move in a second
by the interface without any reason. Also setup-position is buggy (you are not
allowed to put a piece on the board that gives the king check, no matter which
side is to move).


You cannot play a serious game because the interface throws it away with blunder
moves. The engine is not in charge.

Shit.
