Turbo Dambase adds the engine comments to the game as variations. The variations are prefixed with the engine name:

Analysis-Example

 

Evaluation and search depth

At the end of the variation the evaluation and the search depth is displayed, for example (+- 1.84;-0.03/11). The first number is the evaluation of the variation as proposed by the engine. The second number is the evaluation of the move played in the game. The difference between these values is always greater than or equal to the Threshold value (divided by 100) specified in the Analysis Options dialog box. The last number is the search depth, i.e. how many moves deep the search has progressed when calculating the variation proposed.

 

When analyzing has finished you turn back to the Game Window where you can replay the variations.
