Crafty and Yace are the only two freely available programs that I know of which can do this in the same way as the Chessbase game analysis function. Both can be instructed to analyze a PGN game or a file of PGN games from the command line, and you can set various options, such as the margin of evaluation difference between the move played and the move the program comes up with before analysis will actually be written. Crafty's game analysis options seem a little more developed than Yace's, as Crafty has had this option longer (I think full game analysis is new in Yace as of the latest version, Yace Paderborn). Under the freely available Scid database, any Winboard engine that has analysis mode can be used to annotate a game, but then, you just get the program's suggested continuation and evaluation at each move, there is no margin option, and thus no way to do a quick blunder check, for instance. Probably the Arena interface mentioned by Dann Corbit also works this way. Regards, Vine Smith
