Pause/ continue option

Hi Freddy,
thank you very much for this awesome utility .
Would you kindly consider adding the options 1. to pause the engine analyses and continue from where it stopped
2. to create a file, where the engine can stores the analyses scores and depth to reuse it again

I will consider it.

• Support interrupt/resume.

  • Read the output file and save the game headers that are already there.
  • If the game that is about to be analyzed is already in the output saved headers then skip the analysis.

• Save analysis and use the analysis if applicable on the position.

  • For all analyzed positions save the score, depth, and engine name that analyzes the position in sqlite database.
    • Add --save-analysis flag to activate this feature.
    • If the position is already in the database, update the database if engine name is the same and current depth is deeper than what is in the database.
  • For every positions to be analyzed, check it in database, if it is there then just return the score.
    • Add --use-analysis flag to activate this feature.

Hi,
Wonderful Idea (Save analysis and use the analysis if applicable on the position.

For all analyzed positions save the score, depth, and engine name that analyzes the position in sqlite database.
Add --save-analysis flag to activate this feature.
If the position is already in the database, update the database if engine name is the same and current depth is deeper than what is in the database.
For every positions to be analyzed, check it in database, if it is there then just return the score.
Add --use-analysis flag to activate this feature.)
any updates?
this will make chess-artist an unique and powerful tool, specially if you could merge the file and share it
