Very good improvement from Nirvana. iCE is just warming up.
Regarding the pgn, it would be nice if you can produce a format something like below.

Code: Select all

8.Nbd2 {+0.2/25},

+0.2 is eval in 1 pawn unit from side to move (not wpov), 25 is the depth. The purpose is for input to game analyzer app for quick identification of interesting position/blunders.

Not this one.

Guess this would have to be a request to make to Matthias.
However, whatever pgn that I use must be recognised by the CCRL scripts regardless.
