There are limited analysis features in GNUChess 5, recent versions
support "analysis mode".

Use it with SCID or Xboard and it will show you what it is thinking in
analysis mode.

I have some Perl scripts for performing blundercheck analysis on PGN
files in batch mode with GNU Chess, but they are hardly release quality,
and I'm fairy convinced that it would be better done in a program using
the same infrastructure/tools as GNU Chess. Still if you are a Perl guru
you are welcome to review and reinvent them.
