You can view the results in the GUI after the analysis has finished; then you can save the game as PGN (so that it can be parsed by Arena). You can do this by clicking PGN → Save current game in PGN format.</p>

Answers.Text: Thanks. Now it is showing analysis results in green font. But the problem is clicking on those green font, nothing happens. I see the analysis are saved as a commentary. Not as variation. Do you know how to make the analysis moves as variation in the pgn file?

Title: How to view Arena Chess analysis in a chess program?
ThreadText: # How to view Arena Chess analysis in a chess program?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-12-28)
  
  I made an analysis of a chess game in Arena Chess with stockfish engine. The analysis completed successfully. My question is how can I watch this analysis in a chess program.
  Arena chess says it made the analysis output to C:\Program Files (x86)\Arena\Analysis.log file.
  But I am not able to view this file in any chess program (including Arena chess).
  The content of the above mentioned file looked like this:

  This is a [log file](https://www.techopedia.com/definition/5445/log-file) and can't be parsed. You can view the results in the GUI after the analysis has finished; then you can save the game as PGN (so that it can be parsed by Arena). You can do this by clicking PGN → Save current game in PGN format.
