Computer Analysis - Rating after each move

Sort:
DDayman

I have used various chess engines (all from the Chessbase/Fritz family) to analyze my chess games but I would like the analysis to include the computer's estimate as to the point differential after each move.  I find that if I set Frizt/Rybka/Junior/etc. on "infinite analysis" mode it is happy to tell me how many points I am ahead or behind but if I actually have it analyze an entire game it will give me verbose comments and alternative lines but no point calcuation.  Is there a chess engine that will include the point analysis?  Does Houdini do this?  I know that I could look at the official website for the Anand/Gelfand match and their version of Houdini would show three lines after each move and include a point total for each line.  I'd love to find something similar for my games.  Any suggestions?

Any help here would be appreciated?  Does Houdini Aquariam do what I want?  Anyone know what Houdini program was used for the recent world championship match?

Any engine will do this.  It has to do with the interface to it.  I suggest you download SCID (free database) and look at its analysis option (with any engine).  Set "score all moves", and "short annotations".

Okay, thanks for the idea.  I think that the issue really is the GUI.  Is there a way using Fritz to "score all moves"?  Anyone have suggestions for a GUI that will score all moves other than SCID?
