True, but I like to follow the progress of the results of the rollouts
while they are underway. In fact I wish they would also adhere to my
preferences of showing the results in percentages as I set in the
options menu. One last suggestion would be to add a button that Snowie
has: to go to the next move to be analyzed immediately. I don't always
run a complete rollout as I wait for them to reach an error rate I
consider acceptable, and really want to see whether the rollout is
likely to change the evaluation or ranking of the moves being checked.
If it does, then I usually start a fresh rollout and let it run its
course, but if it seems that no revelation is forthcoming I cut it and
continue with my reviewing of the moves.
