Overview

postprint creates a board by board postscript output file on stdout of the contents of the gnuchess persistent hashfile. The hashfile contains information from previous games saved by gnuchess. For each position it prints the board, the best move for that position and the search depth that generated the move as well as several flags indicating information about the position. Flags show whether the score is a true score, or an upper or lower bound on the score and whether or not kingside or queenside castling was legal. When combined with ChessFont file and sent to a postscript printer it will show all boards in the range specified. For each board the move and the current score are also printed.
