Crafty's - alternative move storage[pgn]

[bob]

It really isn't a "variable" as such. The tree->path[1] structure has the results of a search. All the moves, the depth, the number of moves in the PV, etc...

How can I "print" them?

fprintf(pgn_file, " %s", tree->path); //incorrect

I figured it was tree-> something...

It requires a loop, because you have to step down the PV and display/make each move in succession. Look at how "FormatPV()" is used in annotate.c, it will probably do what you want...

I already had :
fprintf(pgn_file, " %s", FormatPV(tree, wtm, player_pv));

It doesn't seem to do anything...

I'm looking for all variations, not just the best currently searched... Basically, what goes on behind the scenes of the best_line.

current_line.... <--- this is what I'm looking for.
best_line... <--- this is what I have.

I stripped Crafty's display down to just the move_number, PV. Here is what I have for output:

1. Nf3 Nc6 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. e3 e6 4. Bd3 Bd6 5. Nb5 O-O 6. Nxd6 cxd6
1. Nf3 Nc6 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. e3 e6 4. Bd3 Bd6 5. Nb5 Bc5 6. O-O O-O 7. Nbd4
1. Nf3 Nc6 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. e4 e5 4. d4 Bb4 5. d5 Bxc3+ 6. bxc3 Ne7 7. Nxe5 Nxe4 8. Qd4
1. Nf3 Nc6 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. e4 e5 4. Bb5 Bb4 5. O-O O-O 6. d3 d6 7. Bg5 Be6 8. Nd5

If I print the buffer for this I get:
In Utility.c:DisplayPV();

sprintf("s \n",buffer);

Displays all unformated... but closer to what I am looking for.
Where does moves 1. & 2. go?
It never even shows Nf3 moves...

This is for the first 30 secs after a "go"

Hmmmm... I'd be drawing dead if I were playing poker.
