Hi,

I am going to find appropriate way for analysis of my games. What I need:

- find the best move

- strength of some several best moves

- estimate of strength of some particular move (not best or even very bad)

Q1: what is the best way to achieve this?

I am trying to use Deep Fritz 14 with different engines (Rybka, Houdini).

Q2: I cannot find an option to find strength of a particular move. Is it possible? For example, there is a position and the computer is calculating some N good moves, but I would like to know how bad is some move which I was going to do?

Q3-4: What is not clear with Fritz:

I am reading the help (the same as in this pdf http://chessbase-shop.com/download/Programme/DeepFritz13/DeepFritz13Manual.pdf ),

page 53: Engine Windows

"The move it is calculating is 24...Rb8, and this is the first of 48 legal moves" - ??? I do not see on the screenshot there such move.

page 54:

"After it has played a move, the chess engine shows you which move it expects

you to choose (in the field after the depth field)."

As I understand it says about something like button "29...Qxb6 (1/43)" on the screenshot just under the button "1 CPU".

What does mean "he chess engine shows you which move it expects you to choose"? Is the shown move is the best move? But as I can see in my analysis the best move from estimated strength point of view differs than shown move.

For example, my default engine is Houdini 4 Pro now. I have just done e2-e4 in a new game and see that the best estimated move is c7-c5 (0.18) after that e7-e6 (0.20) after that e7-e5 (0.29). And the shown move in the described field is Nb8-c6 - WHY?

The Engine Window contains two splitted windows. The second window is something like engines from the internet? But there is no description in the help. Where can I find how it works and how it is called at all?

Q5: I was going to use "Deep Position Analysis" but it was disabled. After some point of time it became enabled, I do not know why. What could be the reason why "Deep Position Analysis" and almost all actions on the page Analysis were disabled?
