  • @CloudySamples
    @CloudySamples Před 2 lety +68

    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

    • @lucasmatsuoca
      @lucasmatsuoca Před 2 lety +16

      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
      @thec7889 Před 2 lety +2

      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
      @Cephalon_Nodens Před 2 lety

      @@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

      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
