Analysis returned lines #4

Closed GabrieleBattaglia closed 5 months ago

Analysis show must be taken a parameter to specify how many lines retrieve from the engine.

    Something like: analysis [s#] Where s stands for show and the number indicates how many generated lines we want to see. for the main line only, we could send: Analysis s1 or, analysis s5 to see the all five lines generated by the engine.

With aa545c8 it is possible to type:

analysis show 1

to only get the best line. Or analysis show 3 to get the 3 best lines.

Note though the maximum number of lines is the number given to analysis start (which defaults to 5). So if you want to get the 10 best lines you must type:

analysis start -n 10

when starting the analysis. This is how the UCI protocol works, we specify the number of moves when starting the analysis.
