Do you mean like this?

---
1) Go to the end of the provided analysis.  Note the depth at which program 'x'
sees itself 'winning'. (This is not quite valid for #11, at least, in which
black can force a draw.)

2) Back up one move at a time, until the program no longer likes the move given
in the analysis.

3) Note the depth at which the program _does_ like the analysis move.  Else, try
and find out why it doesn't.

4) Proceed until the initial position is reached.

Sound OK? :)
