What will you say is the best move from here: [D]rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - As you can imagine, there is more than one sensible answer, though e4 will be pretty popular. >so i can't even use that? or am i not seeing this properly???? The only way to know for sure that something is the best move is to analyze every path all the way to the end (won/loss/drawn). In analysis mode, the program may think differently. For instance, it may speculate and backtrack and look at the database for hints and all sorts of things. Unless one of the suggested moves is not a very good move, I would not worry about it at all.
