Hi
Your main point is true, that it is up to us to imporve our chess, but is totally irrelevant to my question which is about a definite feature of some software:)
Best
What does these almost similar lines mean exactly?

Many thanks for the point about PV mode, it helped me a lot, however I haven't found that how I can get rid of the history of analysis and have only the last analysis:)

Well, this is the way Arena displays the engine output. You can rightclick the variations window and pick "aggregated view" which is probably a tad too Spartan.
Give other UI's a chance, e.g. ChessX, or SCID. The engine can be fully configured, and the variation display is cleaner.
There are also commercial programs, like Chessbase, which I do own (an older version, 2009 Premium), but I do not really like the user's control over the engine.
Take a look at one of my posts. I used an engine before posting it. It also contains some excess garbage. http://www.chess.com/forum/view/game-analysis/please-analyse-and-give-advice
Hi everyone!
For analysing my games, I use Arena GUI and Houdini engine. I adjust it so as it spends 30 seconds for each move, but I have problems interpreting the analysis. For example, it says,
13. f3-f4
Best move (Houdini_4_Pro_w32-v1x): d5xe6

So, it repeats the same candidate moves several times, sometimes just with a single move! I can't get what it is for, I need just one or two best variations as complete as possible. Could anyone help me get what happens?
Thanks,
