It could be interesting knowing the lines HIARC would have preferred when playing marginally better than my current level.
Sometimes I don't get the idea behind a 3000 Elo move ..

Game Analysis at Reduced Strength
.. just wondering whether is possible to perform the analysis at a certain Elo or not.

No that is not possible but it is an interesting idea I used to use on mobile devices like Palm and pocket PC where it could save battery life.
When playing against HIARCS on a handicap Elo level it will show analysis for its level of play (except on very low Elo levels moving instantly).
In analysis people normally want the strongest possible moves. I would be a bit concerned having this feature on the desktop app partly because some might set it by accident and think HIARCS is analysing slowly or weakly and not realise why.
I think your point does uncover a general area where chess programs can improve and that is in explaining why the moves are needed and what is wrong with other moves etc. This is an area we are keen to explore further in the future so I hope in 2014 we can address your concerns here.

Thank you Mark.
Of course my question is startling.
As weak player (enjoying a good interface) I realized sometimes the "best" move is far beyond my comprehension.
Up today there are workarouds: use a less strong UCI engine to analyze positions , or look for variants; usually I find something interesting within the first 5.
