Analysis exclude, to find next bests, is a fine method by me, however I have to
manually do the excluding.

Could this be automated?  eg.
Analysis of position until (state ply depth or time), log this result, restart
analysis with previous find excluded (with an originally requested 2nd ply depth
or time).

This would simulate the way I use Analysis exclude.
This would save me getting up at 3:00 am,  writing down analysis results,
excluding the move & then returning to bed.

Can't wait for the next Rebel.

Will I get Rebel for Windows 6 months earlier as Summer here in Southern
Hemisphere is in January?
