Chess/best mid-game move

Question
Dear Len,
Do you know of any online program (website) that will allow me to find the best move in MID-GAME? I need to set up the first 20 moves or so and play from that point. When I finish winning or losing the current match with a friend, I want to go back and find the best move in a position with a lot of possibilities. Of course, if you offer that service here, I'll be glad to give you the position. I know of several sites that allow games against computers; I just don't know any that would let me as black set the position 20 moves in.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Ed
Hi Ed,
Any commercial program like ChessBase or Chess Assistant allows you to set-up positions from any point for either color and analyze it.
Also, here's a few sites that can help:
