3.5.14.5 What do the green, blue and red letters for the depth mean?
Let’ s Check recognises three levels of evaluation depth. The“ green level” is the lowest and needs about a minute of calculation on a modern computer with a deep engine. Evaluations below this level are ignored when choosing a main line.
The“ blue level” is the depth that is needed to discover a position. The“ red level” leads to the message“ Deep Analysis” in the Chat window. On a modern computer with four processors this can last up to an hour.
3.5.14.6 Why does the progress bar often jump back after reaching 100 %?
The progress bar shows how far you are from reaching the next goal. This can be the depth to win a variation. As soon as this has been achieved the progress bar shows the time needed to win the next variation.
When there is nothing left to win the depth goals for a position have been reached and the message“ Deep Analysis” appears in the Chat window of the Live Book window.
3.5.14.7 Let’ s Check Server Statistics You can view the statistical information in real time at any time.
3.5.14.8 Let’ s Check context menu Right clicking in the Let’ s Check window opens a context menu with various functions:
Show User information: This displays information about the user whose analyses have been sent to the Live Book. This is only possible if he has a user name on the Playchess. com server. In the dialog window there is a section containing the statistics. This shows the number of points the user has, and the number of variations he has won. The number of points depends on the value of the positions that have been analysed. The window only contains the total points reached. The number of variations is a number that can change at any time, if another user stores a deeper analysis for this variation. The window also shows how many Likes the user’ s lines and comments have been given by other users.
Annotate Position: This inserts the analysis of other users into the game notation. Right click in the Let’ s Check window and then click on“ Annotate Position”. This copies the analyses from the Let’ s Check database nested up to four levels deep. Only variations are used that have at least a“ green level”.
