Feature Request for 1.4 - show WDL evaluation in the notation

Post by HiarcsApple »

Show WDL (Win/Draw/Loss) evaluation in the notation.
A lot of chess GUIs can do that.

I was thinking of: :D
A: Stockfish +0.50/35 (30/60/10) d4...
B: Stockfish +0.50/35 (20/80/0) e4...
C: Lc0 +0.50/14 (10/90/0) e4...

If you want the first place in the tournament and you need only one draw, you should play e4 with 80% or 90% chance to get a draw and 0% chance to lose.
If your team needs to win by a half point, you should play d4 with 30% chance to win, only 60% to get a draw but 10% chance to lose.

It's a great feature which will help you a lot when analyzing played games later.
For example if you don't know why your game was again and again a draw, take a look at the WDL evaluation.
If you don't know why you are losing games out of a winning positions, take a look at the WDL evaluation. It will show you that you are choosing very risky and difficult variations for no reason instead the much better alternatives.
