I admit that, for me, Gerd has a point, as you would not only want to
know where your kids blundered, but most likely also where they missed a
blunder by their opponent. At least that's the reason why I always do
both sides if I use auto annotation. I would still like to have the
ability to add the scores only (without the lines) to be able to look
more precisely at a certain point without cluttering up the whole game
with automatic lines. (One could use the score graph for checking out
the blunders easily once a score exists. I prefer this to "annotate only
blunders" cause it gives also some sort of feeling if the one side got
an advantage gradually step by step and just lost by a blunder compared
to single spot lines).
But I see your point concerning calculation time as well. IMHO it would
be a good idea to have some sort of "annotate my moves" for your
request. This would then map to "My player names" (no additional GUI
needed here) and this could hold the names of your kids. You'd surely
want to see the game "from their side" anyway, it makes sense to auto
rotate the board, therefore.
And I admit that I like Daniels idea to use the filter list as input
instead of "from here on the next 20". This would, IMHO, ease up the GUI
as well (one input box dropped) and even make it more consistent as
there're many functions that apply to the filter.
Just my thoughts, however.
