View scores

WZebra will after each move display what it thinks about the position. A typical midgame score might be e.g. +7.2 discs which indicates that WZebra thinks that it will win the game by about 35.2-28.8. In the endgame, possible scores are Win, Draw, Loss when WZebra knows the outcome but not the exact score and e.g. Win by 60-4 when WZebra knows the exact score assuming perfect play from both sides.

Make forced moves automatically

When the human player has to pass or has only one possible move, their move is made automatically.

Pause before responding

Enable a pause of two seconds before WZebra starts thinking. This way the human player has an opportunity to see the position resulting from their moves before WZebra responds. This feature is useful for low search depths as WZebra without it responds immediately.
