I usually just inch along the moves. Depth is the number of moves, so if it is taking too long for it to go to depth 30, move the pieces and then you don't need it to go as deep.
Can I get high-depth automatic computer analysis for my games?

Hi. I've been trying to find a better automatic analysis facility that I can run locally on my computer, since the Chess.com free one only goes up to depth 10 and its main competitor doesn't go past depth 20. I'd like to go up to depth 30 or higher, so I can know what the best moves are and compare them to what I played.
Is there any program that can do this? I tried Arena and Scid vs PC, but the analysis works really slowly (as in it only uses 10% of my laptop CPU) and I can't figure out why. Can someone help explain why this is, or recommend a better application? I wouldn't mind paying money for a good one (£15 or less) to do this. Thanks
On local analysis, you have to give the process sufficient CPU resources. So you'll need to increase the number of cores the engine uses. Depth of 30 will still take a long time even with that.

I'm not sure about Scid vs. PC, but in Arena, you should be able to increase the number of cores used by engines by going into the Engine Management menu (UCI options) and changing the value for "Common max CPU cores setting".
Also, Lucas Chess has a fairly nice auto analysis feature, although I'm not sure how many cores you can use for that.
