I just don't see the point of an engine doing analysis that doesn't output any information. :)

U cannot either even "see" the analysis of a real player in a real game......

I think some people don't care about analysis info, just as long as it plays a good game.Then there are the other group that care about analysis even if weaker strenght.I am more inclined with analysis info than style as I like to know what the engine is currently "thinking" about.But I suppose that both camps have thier reasons and in an ideal world Thinker would be able to do both.

I guess many players , like me, enjoy the beauty of a chess game like the beauty of music, painting, and many other arts. It's like watching at a rose: u can see its beauty as a whole or , with my respect, u could be a scientist dissecting it for science purposes.
