Analysis LinesSearch output is displayed under the chessboard and navigation bar.
The first analysis line: It contains basic search information updated whenever the engine sends the information to the GUI.
Additional information that is not shown in the graphic can be switched on:
The mainlines area in the following lines:
Additional information if you have UCI-2 compatible engines:
Please note: the colours can be set differently, so they may differ from yours.
The pop up menu: As usual, with a click on the right mouse button a pop up menu appears. You can start engine- specific functions for the selected engine here. a) Configure engine: Starts the Configuration dialog for UCI engines. For WinBoard engines the ini file will be loaded into an editor if you choose one in the engine details dialog. b) Limit playing strength to ELO...: With Limit playing strength to ELO selected you can limit the playing strength of the engine-this only works for UCI-2 engines that support this. c) Next best move: The engine searches for the next best move. It is necessary, that the engine has calculated (not analysed, but calculated and executed) a move already in the same position. Arena takes back this move and sends the engine a special command to calculate a new move. If the engine always 'finds' the same move, it does not support this function. d) Ponder: Switches on or off pondering for the chosen engine. If there is another engine that is currently loaded it will not be affected. e) Replace/add engine Starts the dialogue to select an additional engine or t oreplace an engine. f) Aggregated view: Shows the engine not in separated area, but under each other in a list:
g) View:
![]() h) Commands:
i) Multi PV Mode: Turns on or off the Multi variation mode. With this function activated, the engine analyses more moves at the same time and gives you information about possible alternative moves. j) Configure Engine Analysis Output: Goes to the configuration dialogue for engine search output. k) Variation board: Starts the variation board . You can use this function to analyse the main lines on a separate board. l) Make analysed move: If the engine has just finished analysing, you can execute the analysed move that is considered best (on top of the list) with this function. m) Copy analysis to clipboard: Copies the produced main lines from the engines to the clipboard, e.g.: FEN: 5r1k/p1q2pp1/1pb4p/n3R1NQ/7P/3B1P2/2P3P1/7K w - - 0 1

Best move: Re6, Value: +1,54, Depth: 9, Time: 00:03,109, 94.605 Nodes, 120.567 N/sec. Extra info is configurable here , main page "Other Settings". n) Cancel calculating: Stops the engine calculations. This is the same function as the ''Stop'' button (if calculating) or the ''Analysis'' button (if analysing) in the navigation bar, but applies only on the current engine. So you could stop one engine analysing with this function while the other still analyses. o) Close engine: Closes the engine normally. This is the normal way to remove an engine from memory and removing its analysis lines. The other engines that are visible take over its place. p) Open engine folder: Starts the explorer with the folder the engine executable is located q) Terminate engine process: Terminates the engine the hard way. Recommended only if the engine will not quit with "Close Engine", see above. r) (Re)start engine: Stops the engine (if already running) and starts it (again). s) Details: Jumps to the ''Detail'' view of the engine. The same function as Options/ Appearance/ Details and then selecting the current engine.
