Retro Moves“ displays moves which lead from known positions to the position on the board.

 

Show Elo numbers“ integrates the strength of the players into the statistical data of the games.

 

Show next move“ displays in table form the next moves with statistical data for every possible continuation from this position.

See Extended Book Display ...

 

Result from white side“ means that the result of every move is always displayed from White’s perspective.

 

Statistics“ displays the win/loss/draw statistics as a graph, with an exact count of the games that were evaluated by Elo.

 

Example

 

Retro moves are the moves leading to this position from other positions in the trees. Unplayed transpositions are moves which have not actually been played in the games which were merged into the tree, but which would lead to another known position. Those unplayed moves appear grey. With the checkbox for Show Elo numbers you can toggle the display of the columns Av(erage) and Perf(ormance).

 

Statistics shows additional statistics at the bottom of the window.
