The notation should be clickable and update the board to reflect the position at that time.

+1 The notation from analysis is not clickable at the moment.

Created a PR for this.

The notation from analysis is not clickable at the moment. The new version 2.1 has variations and notations clickable from the PGN content, but not from the Stockfish variations part.

I don't think that having engine analysis clickable would be a good UX. Not even sure how it would work. Imagine you click on some move in a variation shown by the engine. Then after a few seconds that variation is demoted and not even visible in the UI anymore. How do you handle this ? you would have a position on the board but you don't have any visual clue where it comes from etc.

And if you look at other chess GUIs like Chessbase/Fritz they also don't have clickable engine analysis.

@adriang133 - thanks, Adrian, that makes sense. Thanks for the work, too!
