The option " V isua lize Se a rc h " goes one step further. During the Infinite Analysis
(ALT-F2) it uses graphics to display not only tactical manoeuvres, but also possible
plans for both sides.

This example shows how the function works.
The orange arrows show the plans that the progam prefers for White, the blue arrows
show the plans that have been calculated for Black.
Possible destination squares are coloured green if they play a special role in the
tactical manoeuvres. In the above example the square f5 is very important, and so the
move f7-f5 is displayed as Black’s main plan.
Note: This function is currently only available for the main engine, and is not
supported by other engines..
It is recommendable to give the program more time to think in critical positions. The
more time the program has, the more informative his resuts will be.
Below the engine window the currently examined variation line is always displayed.

In this example the Fritz engine is thinking about how to react if 20.Nd3 is answered
