You can set a variation colour for each engine (when loading it) so that it is easy to
tell at a glance which engine produced the individual lines.
How to load engines:
New allows you to select engines from the list of all available engines.
Edit allows you to change the settings for the engines already loaded (hash table
size, variation colour).
You can use “compare analysis” on a number of games (in the database window). In
this case, specify whether the analysed games should replace the original entries or if
they should be appended to the end of the database.
Please note: You can load an engine more than one at a time and then use Edit –
Parameters to set different engine parameters. In this way you can find out how the
settings affect the performance of the engine.

Shoot out

This allows you to use one or more engines to play out the rest of the game. It is used
to test different engines – which lets them play out a tactical, strategic or endgame
position at different depths – but also for analytical purposes.

New is used to include new engines in the shootout.
Delete is used to to remove them from the list.
Move limit: You can set a maximum game length and average search depth for
each move.
