CB14 Automated Analysis
Hambleton Games from Iceland(TWIC 1171)
I have been experimenting with ways to speed up analyzing games.
CB14 has a Tactical Analysis feature which can check multiple games without supervision.
“The function “Tactical Analysis” will insert commentary, variations and diagrams, before strong moves or errors, into a game or an entire database. It will also annotate combinations, played in the game or missed, tries, attacks, initiative, and of course the latest in openings theory.”-Chessbase
Settings were 10 seconds/move: Fine analysis and Replace.
