Note that I already ordered fruit by the company that I work in it in the last hour. Note that first tried to use my gmail account as email address and it rejected it and told me that it does not accept gmail or free emails like hotmail so I am not sure if you got emails that I sent from my gmail account and I will post here the last email that I sent from my gmail account: subject of the email: Suggestions for additional features for analysis in fruit content of the email: Note that I sent 1 to fabien but I am not sure if he got it because I noticed that he has different email address in the fruit page(not hotmail). 1)I use chess programs for correspondence games and I think that having an option to see all lines that were searched for significant time may be an interesting option. If I give Fruit to search 20,000,000,000 nodes in some hours I like to see all the lines that it searched more than 100,000,000 nodes or something similiar. A possible way to do it is to have array nodes[depth] that give for every remaining depth,the number of nodes that were searched before getting that remaining depth. If the difference in nodes[depth] is more than 100,000,000 fruit may write the line that it searchs to a text file before updating nodes[depth] 100,000,000 is of course only an example and the user may change that number. 2)Another idea is to give the user an option to do tasks like analyzing position A for 10 hours and later analyzing next best move for 5 hours and later analyze position B for 20 hours and later analyze 2 best moves in postion C for 13 hours and save all the analysis. Correspondence players may be interested in doing this type of tasks when they cannot be near the relevant computer for 48 hours. Maybe this can be done by some bat file(I do not know) and unfortunately I still did not get a response to question that I asked in the winboard forum about it.
