Body: <p>At the moment, the Analysis window shows over 32 variations in a random order of strength.</p>
  <p>Is it possible to just show the top 2 strongest moves?</p>
  <p>If I right click in the window all the moves disappear and I get some text saying &quot;Click here to see moves&quot;.</p>
  <p>If I click on the &quot;Click here...&quot; text nothing happens.</p>
  <p>If I right click again, I get 1 variation.</p>
  <p>If I hover over the <code>1</code> drop down at the bottom I get a tooltip which is displayed off screen so cannot be read.</p>
  <p>Eventually more variations appear but they all seem to be based around the strongest move.</p>

Comments.Text: the 32 variations actually are just the lines that the engine evaluated in order to find the strongest move, it's not a ranking of all moves. By default, it only gives the strongest move, shown in the header above in bold ( where it says something like +0.8 Depth: 30 Nodes: 754343k (1102kn/s) Time: 93.72s).

  At the moment, the Analysis window shows over 32 variations in a random order of strength.
  
  Is it possible to just show the top 2 strongest moves?
  
  If I right click in the window all the moves disappear and I get some text saying "Click here to see moves".
  
  If I click on the "Click here..." text nothing happens.
  
  If I right click again, I get 1 variation.
  
  If I hover over the `1` drop down at the bottom I get a tooltip which is displayed off screen so cannot be read.
  
  Eventually more variations appear but they all seem to be based around the strongest move.

  In your analysis window, you will see a toolbar up top that looks something like the following. If you change the number (the 1 at the right-hand side of the picture), you will be able to vary the number of top variations you see.
