'is based on'

is the crucial part of the text here.

Chess programs assess parts of the tree as irrelevant and won't get into that
part of the search tree.

>Why can't you understand this?
>The analysis Window shows you how many possible moves are in a position,
yes, the root position of the search. I agree all moves in the root position are
examined. That is one position out of millions.

>It shows you what move is being evaluated.
It can even show you the line it is working on. That proves what?

>It shows you the PV eval.
Yes, evaluation of one line. It doesn't show you the evaluation of all possible
lines in the gametree

>Just look at the Window!
I'm doing that often as part of programming a chessprogram. I know pretty well
what the numbers in those windows mean!
