The analyze feature is not easy to configure, and badly documented. The attached picture shows the settings. (I chose 5 secs. So the analyzing will be fast.) You will get output in the pgn-Window like this: ########################### Begin [White "xyz"] [Black "ok"] [Result "*"] [WhiteElo "1111"] [BlackElo "2222"] [ECO "B48"] [WhiteCountry "USA"] [BlackCountry "GER"] 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e6 5.Nc3 Qc7 6.Be3 a6 7.Qd2 Nf6 8.O-O-O Be7 9.f3 O-O 10.g4 b5 11.Rg1 Move out of book g5 100% 11...Ne5 12.g5 Nh5 13.f4 Nc4 14.Bxc4 Qxc4 15.Kb1 Rb8 16.Qf2 Bb7 17.Nb3 b4 18.Na4 Bxe4 19.Rxd7 Rfe8 20.Ra7 Bc6 21.Nbc5 Bxa4 22.Nxa4 Qb5 23.b3 Rb7 24.Rxb7 Qxb7 25.Rd1 g6 26.Nc5 Qc6 27.Nd3 Rd8 28.Rd2 Rc8 29.Ne5 * ########################### End The line "Move out of Book" tells you, the book feature worked allright... You experienced, that stockfish was running all the time, thats OK too. But the first moves will run through in short time, until the end of book is reached. Maybe you didn't have a move in the book... If you checked "Find opening errors" or "Mark tactical exercises" stockfish will run through all the opening-search and analyzes the book moves. So it will take the amount of time (here 5 secs.) to process that. If you checked one of the above and had an annotation time of 60 Secs. / Move you will wait long for the message "Move out of Book". Please tell me, if this explanation helped you and if it did, I will close the bug-report. Greetings, Oliver
