Hi!

Is there any way in either Fritz 9 or CM10 to load
multiple games and have it analyze each game in
succession?

It would be nice to head to bed, work, etc. and have it
crunch the analysis when I don't need the computer.

Just in case someone wants to do that with a free engine,
it's pretty easy with crafty. Copy all games to analyse to
some pgn-file, then issue something like

crafty "annotate pgnfile.pgn bw 1 0.25 120"

bw : annotate for _b_lack and _w_hite (could also be b or w
whatever you prefer)

Alternatively one can also specify the name of a
player to annotate for. (Name is case sensitive!)

1 : start at move 1 can be any number. Can also be a range
e.g. 10-30

0.25: margine, ie. the pawn difference necessary for crafty
to write an annotation. If the score changes for more
than 1/4 pawn in this case it will write first the
line played with it's best continuation and it's
evaluation, then the line crafty thinks it's best with
it's continuation and evaluation.

Set it to a negative number to annotate any move.

120 : time to analyse for every move in seconds. Could be
any number

Note: If you want the output in nice webpages replace the
annotate command by annotateh. In case you prefer LaTeX for
easy printing or creation of a PostScript or PDF file use
annotatet.

In case you want to check you own analysis lines just add
them in comments to the pgn (ie. in {} or () ).

PS: On a multiuser workstation do not forget to "nice"
crafty. Othewise root will tell you about it in a probably
less polite form
