For some chess research and chess education purposes, I would like to have a chess engine option so that when a chess position is entered, the engine is instructed to look at all black moves, even if horrible, at the same time look at either 1) all white moves also; or 2) the "best" white move; or 3) the "best" two white moves. Here I would want "two" replaced by "larger numbers".
Has anybody worked with such a feature? Or does anybody have a suggestion as to which open source engine would be best for adding this feature?

Re: chess engine feature
But the problem is that to look for the 'best' white move, you need to look many moves ahead (see alpha-beta pruning and mini-max theory). You can't just decide which move is gonna be best for white based only on the current position of board, although you can 'evaluate' that position.winchess wrote:For some chess research and chess education purposes, I would like to have a chess engine option so that when a chess position is entered, the engine is instructed to look at all black moves, even if horrible, at the same time look at either 1) all white moves also; or 2) the "best" white move; or 3) the "best" two white moves.
