Crafty makes annotations that can be followed by Chessbase programs, even
through the moves that it suggests and the possible moves that it sees posible
from the move made in the game.  Crafty is what I always use to annotate games
with.

Crafty will give you the value of it's earch for a given move in terms like
"$16" and if you need to look up what that means then goto
http://www.clark.net/pub/pribut/standard.txt  and save that page as a text file,
on that page look for this section: 10: Numeric Annotation Glyphs, (just
remember to look for section 10) and that will list the values.  Most of them
will fall into the range of $10 to $20, see below.

 10    drawish position
 11    equal chances, quiet position
 12    equal chances, active position
 13    unclear position
 14    White has a slight advantage
 15    Black has a slight advantage
 16    White has a moderate advantage
 17    Black has a moderate advantage
 18    White has a decisive advantage
 19    Black has a decisive advantage
 20    White has a crushing advantage (Black should resign)
 21    Black has a crushing advantage (White should resign)
