Hi there , I was wondering if in the future if it would be possible to include the engine playing itself from a position of our games, so we can see how how our games would continue if we could see best moves being played from both sides, rather than individually checking moves . this would enable us to learn and maybe have an idea of planning on how to play a certain position and generate some ideas. I think it would be a very useful learning tool . let me know what you guys think.
The engine playing itself doesn't achieve anything different than when you manually reply computer moves. The engine playing itself from a position of our games is useless - too many possible continuations after a few moves. I think you want a replacement for a GM analysis to look into a position with a computer but this this doesn't work like this and leads to nowhere.
Just analyze your games. Step through them and try out different lines if you like. The computer evaluates what it thinks the best moves are for both sides... so it essentially does play itself.
