So CA has this ability too. I know that this can be entered too but it is considered to be textual annotation and you have problems displaying/entering unclear, +/= in the usual manner etc. In CB you just hit '!' and can pick from the list whatever you need. >>And what still confuses me is the eval display, showing some CAP data I suppose. >>I still wonder what information is displayed, based on which games/database/...? > >Eval is from a tree of human (master) evaluations of opening moves.

Reading the first sentences in the yahoogroup I get no idea what all this is. ;-( Think I have to read it very carefully again, from the very start to the very end.
