Variation Board

You can start the variation board with a click on the right mouse button over the analyse button in the navigation bar, selecting variation board in the pop-up menu of the engine, or by pressing Ctrl+F12 on the keyboard or select 'Variation Board' in the Options menu.

Here you can move through the currently analysed variation(s) of the engines.

With the navigation buttons you can navigate within the variation. In the small window on the left the current move and the relative material value relative to the beginning of the variation is shown.

With E1, E2 or E3 you can reload the current analysis lines of engine 1,2 or 3 into the variation board.

If the engine is a WinBoard engine or a UCI engine without MultiPV mode, only one mainline is displayed in the list below the variation board.

If the engine is an UCI engine and supports MultiPV mode, the number of the selected mainlines (MultiPV in the engine configuration dialogue) is shown in the list below the variation board.
