Is there is a program that I can use to analyze some pgn file in order to give me to think only about the positions when one side did a significant mistake?
The idea is that I can define what is a significant mistake(for example at least 0.5 pawns) and how much time to give the engine that I choose(stockfish) to analyze every position in the pgn to define the mistakes.

1) analyze the game normally with score
2) make a FEN list with bad moves and analyze this list with Arena (engines -> automatic analyze).

This tool is used for easily finding interesting positions in computer chess games. You can also use it to quickly find where engines have blundered in a game. The tool works by extracting moves and scores from the winboard debug file and then using the scores generated by the chess engines to find interesting positions. The Game Analyser works like a PGN game viewer allowing you to scroll through the game and view the score and depth generated by the chess engines for each move.

Thanks but I do not know how to do both parts automaticallyVinvin wrote:May be you can do this in 2 times :Uri Blass wrote:Is there is a program that I can use to analyze some pgn file in order to give me to think only about the positions when one side did a significant mistake?

1) analyze the game normally with score
2) make a FEN list with bad moves and analyze this list with Arena (engines -> automatic analyze).
1)I do not know if I can use a program to calculate a score for every position in the pgn file when I only need to give it the name of the pgn file
and some parameters like time to analyze for every position or depth.
2)If I have scores for every position I do not know if I can use a program to detect all the bad moves(that can be defined for example as moves when the score dropped by at least 0.5 pawn after them).

You can use "ChessGameReport", see here : http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopi ... 427#565427Uri Blass wrote:Thanks but I do not know how to do both parts automaticallyVinvin wrote:May be you can do this in 2 times :Uri Blass wrote:Is there is a program that I can use to analyze some pgn file in order to give me to think only about the positions when one side did a significant mistake?

Re: A question about a program to analyze pgn
Are you refering to blunder check?
Many main GUI can do this with the score + depth setting or time and sometimes both.

Re: A question about a program to analyze pgn
Uri,
SCID can do what you want (if I understand correctly what you want!):
You can have SCID analyze with the engine of your choice and have it provide alternative lines only when the move made differs by more than 0.5 pawns (for example) from what the engine considers the best move.
I'm pretty sure that other GUIs offer blunder check or something similar that I believe may function in the same way as the SCID functionality above, but I could be wrong about that!

I basically want to give SCID some input
1)Name and location of the pgn file
2)number of pawns to check for blunders(for example 0.5 pawns)
I want to get the following output
All the positions when the best move is at least 0.5 pawns better than the game move.
I do not want to see the best move or the game move immediately in the relevant positions and I want first to think about the positions by myself and only later to see the best move and the game move.

Re: A question about a program to analyze pgn
To be more specific I am interested in thinking by myself about the israeli chess championship games but not about every position(I have no time for it) but only about the positions when players did significant mistakes.
You can download the games in the following link
http://www.theweekinchess.com/chessnews ... ships-2014
Possible output that I would like to have is list of fen for all the positions when players did mistakes of at least 0.5 pawns(without best move)
when I simply think about diagram number 1 and later about diagram number 2 and later about diagram number 3...
and only after thinking about diagrams from the same game compare the move that I choose with the best move or the game move.
Of course if the evaluation is already +3.5 and a move drops the evaluation to 2.8 then it is not interesting so I would like to have only positions when the evaluation is smaller than 1.5 pawn advantage for one side before the move or after the move.
