Sorry to make an issue here about Banksia GUI. I did try to register over the forum there. but the humanity test is defeating me. What kind of answer syntax is expected.

CONFIRMATION OF REGISTRATION Write down a term that is NOT related to Banksia GUI: flower, graphics, tournament, bank, chess, interface, software: This question is a means of preventing automated form submissions by spambots.

I keep putting word not on that list above.. English words. there are all wrong answers. A term. what is that. I tried the name of a tree: baobab. what else... just tried promenade.. are you expecting capital letters. or what.

so my real questions is about how on your website you could produce the search tree for the software called fruit. and how many engine have such feature made accessible through UCI. Also wondering about what each node on that tree was representing, it might be fruit internal choices via UCI, How many recent engine are allowing such output of their internal tree searches? Did i miss something. here is the link. Any documentation details about your GUI or such engine that made accessible such output interest me.. If you are aware, perhaps or more experimental engine with transparency focus about their internal execution time behavior as it relates to chess tree and paths, of the same kind,, but with some node type per heuristic relation (each heuristic, a priori could be the basis for a true node type with that heuristic as label.). I think crafty has an intent on transparency about its internal construction.. but this fruit graph (or tree) impacted my imagination.

Also kudos for many unique features of your GUI. That go beyond the usual scope of engine self-play. Such feature that can graph a search tree, I have not seen often... Either from engine or GUI. I also like your effort in proposing more structured chess database formats that can be accessed by more ubiquitous database software, and with an open format syntax.
