Overview

gnuan produces an analysis of a chess game. For each move it shows the move, the score and the principle variation selected by gnuchess

gnuan prompts for input parameters when it is invoked. Input file is a gnuchess list file or a xboard game file or a PGN file.

gnuan is a modification of the gnuan program from Truman Collins ([email protected]).

Function letters

The following commands are recognized:

bd -- Print out the current board

depth n -- set depth to search

next -- find the next best move in this position.

top n -- find the best n moves (1<n<5) in each position.

quit -- quit

n -- where n is a number, go to move n. n must be forward from current position

var -- enter a variation from the stored line. Return from the variation will go back to the current posution. If you are in a variation you enter the moves and they are then evaluated.

rav -- return from a variation.

go -- advance 1 ply.

To emulate the old gnuan just type a number > number of moves at the command prompt. The moves will be examined til the end of the game.
