This for sure is no treu
At least not in the methode of the Chessbase products
Because you come to a certain point where no or to less branches are made.
Or you should do it over and over again after each move
Stil then you might not have the corect vieuw because instead of the 5 move the
6 move is the best
Which will not be covered.
