is there an annotation tool for UCI (like crafty annotate)?

[casaschi]

I was looking for a script/software to annotate a pgn file using a UCI engine with similar output to the "crafty annotate" command (html view of the game showing where the engine thinks there is a better move than played by a certain score margin).

I know some of the interfaces (such as scid) can do something similar, but I was rater looking to a console script/software.

thanks.

Welcome aboard, Paolo.

I second your request on a gui which supports annotations with a WB or UCI engine.

No, no, no... it's not a request for a GUI, just a plain console script/software that could run from a terminal and could be used in shell scripts.
I dont need and dont want a GUI... that already exists, scid can do some kind of game annotation.

Less is more... your enhancement is rejected :-)

Ooops.

Crafty 23.2 was used for annotations.

As UCI aims to give more power to the GUI, command line auto-annotation is likely to be philosophically against UCI (though it can be done).

More correctly: UCI aims to give more power to the software which is controlling the engine This software can be a gui, or a command line script.
