Subject: Fritz5.16's "Explain All Moves" but in a text file

Author: Bruce Ramsey

Hi - the 16-bit version of Fritz 5 has a feature called Explain All Moves.
Might be in Fritz5.32 as well, I don't have the 5.32 at hand

If you turn Explain All Moves on, it shows all the legal moves in the position,
and the eval score for each move, in a window on the right hand-side of the
screen.  If you click the move, a brief PV for that move is shown.  The moves
are sorted in the window in decreasing eval score order.  The more time you stay
on that position, the deeper Fritz works out the PV for each possible move.

Question: Does anyone know of a chess program (or programs) that will produce
such a display in a text file (ascii file)?

I tried Crafty 16.x - tried turning on display moves, variation, and some other
switches, but Crafty shows in the log some really good moves, but not all the
legal ones like Fritz's Explain All Moves.  I'm a real Crafty newbie, so perhaps
I didn't find the right switch combo?

Are there any chess programs out there that have log file options that would
produce something like Fritz's Explain All Moves in the text log file?

I'm not thinking of doing this for whole games, just feeding the program a
single EPD position at a time to get the evals for the possible moves.

Any help appreciated :)

thanks, Bruce
