4 games.
4 chessboards, black to move.
Seems to work fine

There should only be one game, but there are 4 positions. It's Craftys annotateh command as you probably know. It looked better after I uploaded the bitmaps ).

I was pretty happy when the annotateh command showed up in Crafty, but I never did care for the graphics. So I prefer the regular annotate command, and then any Chessbase program, even Chessbase Lt. can run through the annotated moves for you. I had given thought to rebuilding the bitmaps so that it would look better, but there's allot of work involved, and I don't consider it that important.
Amy annotates too, but it's results are very hard to follow, I do like that it prints all the search results to the log file though.
In Amy, use the "level" command to set the time control before using the "anno" command. "level 60/45" will give Amy 60 moves in 45 minutes, this will get Amy to search deeper than if you leave it at the default time setting. I have not tried this on the new Amy that Dann put up today, only the last version.

It's the output that's important, not whether this or that program can annotate or if the bitmaps are ugly. Craftys output is fine if you want to highlight a game of a match on your website, which is my purpose. If you know how to export annotation and diagrams with Chessbase Lt. please let me know.

Export it to Chessbase Lt.? Well, the html annotation that "annotateh" produces will be pretty much useless for that, but if you use the regular "annotate" command, then Crafty will output it's annotions to a file with ".can" added to the name of the file that you annotated, that is, if you annotated the file "gameA.pgn" the annotation will be in the file called "gameA.pgn.can", so just rename that file so that it has the ".pgn" file extention, maybe call it "A-anno.pgn" and then Chessbase Lt. can open it.
Or are you asking about how to use the board from Chessbase Lt. in your web page? You can do that by getting the position that you want in CBL, then use Printing/Diagram->clipboard, then paste it into Wordpad using Edit/Paste_Special, now copy _that_ back to the clipboard, and paste it into your webpage composing program. If your webpage composing program has paste_special in it, you could skip that middle step (mine doesn't).
I've put annotated games on my website that were done that way using the Chessbase Lt. board images and the annotate, not annotateh output. But the annotated game that I have on there now has no images. It's a game that I lost to Comet.

This I know and I don't need to export Crafty annoatation to CBL.
This is the answer to my question. I'll try it and compare the outputs. Thanks.
