First the issue of SKILL_VERYGOOD. I can't see why the fact that GNUbg 0ply and 2ply disagreed as a reason to mark a move verygood (or any other criteria for that matter).

If everyone agrees that you want to change 'good' to 'ok', that is easy to do. If you prefer not to see the 'good/ok' mark, please say so. I thought you might want to distinguish between non-analyzed moves and analyzed-as-ok moves.

If we can agree on the above two I will make the change.

I have only now analysed a match with a later build and must say that I liked it better with no text in the annotation window if gnubg didn't find a fault with my move. It coincides better with the luck analysis on the left hand side. Also, "good" (or any other text) raises attention when there's imho no need because the move was ok. It's different if it would've been outstanding, but so far we don't make that distinction.

For the internal storage I agree to have a distinction between a not analysed and an analysed move. So for a not analysed move (or one without annotations) SKILL_NONE should be set. For analysed moves that are in neither way prominent I suggest SKILL_OK. Neither of both should mark the move with !, ?, ?! in the game record and SKILL_OK should also leave the drop down of the move analysis in the annotation window blank. SKILL_NONE might give an entry of "not analysed".

Last, I think SKILL_VERYGOOD (and SKILL_GOOD used in this sense) should return even if gnubg doesn't recognise a move as such and thus doesn't set these flags. One can still set them manually for annotation purposes.

To sum it up, I'd like to see the following flags: SKILL_NONE, SKILL_VERYBAD, SKILL_BAD, SKILL_DOUBTFUL, SKILL_OK, SKILL_GOOD and maybe SKILL_VERYGOOD.

And while playing with this I think to have found a small bug:

It's not possible to mark a move manually as good. All other choices work, though.

In the GUI or CLI or both?
