Graham, many thanks for including Yakka in the tournament. :D

The pgn will be a great resource to dissect and work on improvement.

If you don't mind, just a quick question to ensure I understand the output:

25.Qf2 {(Bc2) [%eval 141,14] [%emt 00:00:22]} Kf7 {(Kh7) [%eval -15,24] [%emt 00:00:29]}

[%eval 144, 14] means engine eval of 144 cp and search depth 14 or is 14 selDepth?

(If depth, then Yakka appears to search to much shallower depths than the other engines & I have a lot of work to do.)

[%emt 00:00:22] means time engine took for searching move.

My main question concerns: Qf2 {(Bc2)... & Kf7 {(Kh7)...

Qf2 is the engine move, what is the move reported in brackets e.g. (Bc2)? Is this a ponder move?

Regards, Chris

[%eval 144, 14] means engine eval of 144 cp and search depth 14 or is 14 selDepth? I guess it's depth 14./b]

[%emt 00:00:22] means time engine took for searching move. Yes.

My main question concerns: Qf2 {(Bc2)... & Kf7 {(Kh7)... No pondering is used. Pretty sure the move in brackets is what the other engine was expecting.
