Ah. Ic. That's the idea of it.

Sure. My second "right" is exactly that.

No, they're not evil but a necessity. ;) You know, playing
CC I've always to add the analysis at the end of the game.
No way around having those guys.

? I don't understand. What I suggesed was to check if the
last ply before the variations is the same ply as within.
"if so, do not display the first ply of the var but the
second one". However, I do not know if this is at all easy
to do. It would be something like showing two plys of
variation arrows.
