Hi John, I´ve just found out, what the problem is - you forgot one important setting: When using ´RetroAnalysis´ you MUST set the correct ´SearchDepth´ for the current mainline you´re analyzing BEFORE starting the analysis - otherwise ChestUCI of course couldn´t know who deep to search! (but this is all described in detail in the file ´English.txt´!) So if SearchDepth is set to a value less than the move number (which you´re actually analyzing), this will give these negative options to Chest and produces the error message. This is of course not a bug in ChestUCI, but simply an erroneous handling of ChestUCI by the user. If at all than it´s rather _my_ bug, not being able to imagine such strange user inputs - but of course I´ll fix this in ChestUCI ... ;-) Regards, Franz.
