31.221.86.178: Move evaluation software? (2016-12-07 13:18) [#10860]

Hi - I started playing go earlier this year, completely obsessed with it. The one tool for my study that I feel would be really useful is software that would allow me to set up a board position (I play mostly 9x9 due to time constraints) and then have the computer make not just a single hint for the best next move (which most programs offer - I don't find it that useful) but to mark on the board *multiple* possible next moves, ideally with an indication of their relative value. I.e. it could mark the top 10 moves (or whatever) and show how good they are / what order the AI ranks them in. I'm particularly interested in knowing how the moves that I make in my games compare with the other options. Was it the best move? If it wasn't the best, was it nearly the best or was it a disaster? What are the other options I should have considered? I find it difficult / time consuming to answer these questions at the moment, and a single 'hint' really doesn't cut it.

Does such a piece of software exist? I'd be prepared to pay good money for this :-). Obviously it's only any use if the AI is a strong player, but there are plenty of AIs out there that are WAY better than me at this stage. Any help greatly appreciated, thank you.

Leela is offering this kind of functionality now - although until it goes commercial it won't look super slick
