Comments.Text: @David I'm assuming it analyzes every position of the game in either backward or forward direction. I would say backward makes more sense since then the engine already "knows" how the game ended. It doesn't make much of a difference either way. Question to the OP: why exactly do you want forward analysis?

Comments.Text: I mean, I just described it. It determines in what order the moves are looked at. So if your game is 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Qh5 Nf6 4.Qxf7#, then a forward analysis will first look at the starting position, then the position after 1.e4 and so on. A backward analysis will first look at the final position, then the position before 4.Qxf7# and so on. The result of those two analyses will be very similar but backward sometimes makes a bit more sense to as mentioned tell the engine how some move turned out (roughly speaking).

Comments.Text: @JanetMThomas Why care about a feature you don't even understand what it's doing? With the information you give in the question, it coudl just as well be that Fritz can do it under a completely different name and nobody would find out
