IE I do a search, find the best move/score, remove it from the move list, and search what is left again (without clearing hash info) to find the second best move. I remove that, and continue this circus <nmoves> times. :) Also note you can replace "bw" with the name of one of the players. This is useful if you have a pgn file with several games, and you want to annotate for the same person in each game, where colors might flip. it is way more efficient to annotate for one side only as that doesn't crush the hash table after every search.
