That’s insane, when engine says 0.00 it generally doesn’t understand the position, so you can play 5 best moves according to the computer and suprisingly engine will say black is winning

Depth... Its all about depth
@lucasmatsuoca 2 жыл бұрын
It doesn't mean "it doesn't understand the position", it thinks blacks has Full compensation or found a forced perpetual check line, engines are not programmed to give "i don't understand it" analysis, especially SF, a "brute force calculator" engine. Only thing is that in those positions there are many crazy moves that could be discarded by the algorithm and it was eventually a very good move with deep analysis.
@thec7889 2 жыл бұрын
it understands the position more than any of us could ever dream of doing, and it sees a prepetual check in a line and whoever tries to avoid the prepetual would be worse so the prepetual is considerd best play by both sides. occationaly it could allso mean a trade down to a tablebase drawn position if it has tabelbases enabled.
@Cephalon_Nodens 2 жыл бұрын
@@thec7889 I wouldnt say it understands the position. Engine just evaluates it by looking at specific lines and thats why it says +2 or -3. This is why engines were so bad at openings for such a long time. Now they are pretty good but mainly because they have book lines programmed into them and we can run them with enormous depth

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="471">7:51</a> black very quickly played Qd3+, but Bxd4 looks really strong if you take with knight going down the same line with Qd3+ Kxf2 Qxe3# is now mate.

cxd4 Rab8 Qxb8 Rxb8 Kxf2 and 3 pieces and rook for the queen is enough, White seems already winning in this position. Qc2+ Nd2 may hold, Qd3+ Kxf2 too and any other move looks too slow to me. Still the best practical try
