Go up one level in this thread
Rebel 10 would be a good choice, I think. It has all the essential
analysis tools (game analysis for one or both sides, on-the-fly
analysis while replaying a game, analysis with exclude/include move)
and is also reputed to have one of the best human-like chess engines.
You can adjust the playing style and ELO level of the program and
benefit from the EOC (Encyclopeadia of Chess) database when analysing
a position.
Other possible choices could be MChess Pro 8 and the coming Hiarc 7.
However, IM Kaufmann seems to think that MChess Pro's evaluation
function is a bit to biased toward speculative play, which could make
that program less reliable when analysing a game. It's apparently great
fun to play against though :-)
