Re: [Bug-gnubg] Simplifying the analyse/evaluation dialogs

[Michael Petch]

Hi Jon,

Two things I get asked often is – “what is the difference between analysis and evaluation?” or “how do I change the strength of tutor mode”. I believe these two things come down to a fundamental issue. Its not intuitive for many people what “evaluation” is and “analysis” and what parts of the product they affect. If we start making whole sale changes (I am all for it) I also recommend we change/standardize the terminology to make those options more intuitive.
