What tools are very good for graphical chess game annotation?
What is your opinion on tools you used?
I don't have any tool for annotation but I am willing to buy one if necessary. Unfortunately the manuals are not so talkative.
By "graphical chess annotation" I mean any coloured highlighting of move, pieces, squares.
Customizing the highlighting would be even better!
A bonus would be customized annotations particularly with symbols like Wingdings.
Why am I asking this?
IMO graphical annotations are directing my awareness to the most relevant issues in a game. With such a tool at hand I would be easier to rehearse games of me and others and compare them to masters' games.
I could identify following analysis tools explicitly:
- Chess Assistant
- Aquarium
- ChessBase
- Shredder
- HIARCS Chess Explorer
- Canvas Chess
- Chess King
- Arena
Do you know any others?
What tool has features you deem particularly useful?
I am not looking for chess engines because they can be combined with analysis tools.
