You can't be so clueless about randomness in move selection by engines, can you?

How should I know? You did not add informations and we already know that you simply stop the engine calculation when you like and force it to move. Thus your post makes no sense.

The pgn you posted has zero infos and from other games it was easy to detect that you even don't use the pretended time control.
Why should I assume you use now 8 threads - we don't even know if you
have such a machine. With more infos we could see the depths and
probably deduct that you may be lied again (about using 8 cores).

Today I had time to cleanse this thread of the most offensive material. Let's make a final attempt to continue any discussion in a civilized way.

It seems there is some criticism that would be good to address, when Lyudmil returns from his 'cooling-off holiday', which, after deleting the less-polite parts, looks like this:

[d]r2q1rk1/3nbp1p/4p1pP/pn1pP3/1ppP1BN1/5N2/2PQBPP1/R3R1K1 w - - 0 26

Do you really want me to believe that SF played Bh2? You obviously push bad moves so we can admire the genius.

Just to be explicit: I don't want to see the words 'scam' or 'cheater' in any of the subsequent postings. (Because I already mention those here, and once seems enough.)

I also don't want members here to be accused of alleged wrongdoings for which an identity-stealing troll elsewere is responsible; if this warrants discussion, such discussion should be conducted where the wrongdoings occur. On TalkChess people can be held only accountable for what they post here, with a verified identity.

And I want concerns to be addressed, and not brushed aside by remarks that cast doubt on the competence or expertise of the members voicing these concerns. Most people here are experts on computer Chess, and running or even programming engines, orders of magnitude more experienced in this than Lyudmil is.
