nbrowser screen explained


Input Game button:
If you click this button, nbrowser will read the input bar on the right, and try its best to play out the game sequence. (Works with GGF)
Input bar:
The space for inputting games will also display the text sequence of the game you have played out on the board. You can edit what is in this bar to input a different game sequence into nbrowser, and can also copy the text directly from there into another application (such as Wzebra).
Information bar:
3D This bar, located right beneath the board, displays book information about the current position. For example, "10021+1400 games, 0 <293,-258>" means there are 10021 selfplayed games, 1400 games against others, an actual score of 0, "black score" of +2.93, and "white score" of -2.58.
Next Color Disc:
Located to the right of the bottom of the board, this disc shows which color will move next.
"Score:"
This listbox shows the book score of each move.
"Black score:" and "White score:"
Explained here -- draw avoidance.
"Actual score:"
This listbox shows the minimaxed scores of each move. A proven +2 is not counted as +102, which is what happens to book score. Thus, if the best proven sequence or deviation is a +2, that score will never change no matter how much book selfplaying is done.
