Yes. Yace, however, will give very consistent analysis by back to front analysis when using annotate (it might not be the case when using some sort of GUI driven analysis in WB mode). It should not forget any previously analysed positions and not suffer from some random hash table overwrites. Often, by going back to front, it can point out much deeper tactics, than front to back analysis would give. Unfortunatly, there is an error in the documentation - two parameters interchanged. I don't have access to the documentation at the moment, so I cannot say which parameters were interchanged. Perhaps I have mentioned the details in the Yace forum, perhaps also in CCC and it can be found with the search facilities here. Regards, Dieter Regards, Dieter
