I am not a fanboy of anybody. But the results are the results. I was the first one to show that Stockfish was better then Houdini, and other engines on this forum. And got the same response as you today!

You are a joke....

To be fair you are actually a fanboy of garbage testing, i.e. let engines play from a starting position only.mwyoung wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 12:06 amI am not a fanboy of anybody.

Guess who's results were correct!

Scandi player i have studied certain positions where the score after opening is in
the vicinity of +1.0 for white, guess what, thanks to latest SF i have found the
refutations after many hours of (cyclic) analysis.
Overall, to all: why simply doesn't recognize the greatness of SF (and LC0 btw) ?![]()

That is total B.S.
What are you talking about. Then yes when using garbage openings then use Stockfish. Then I highly recommend Stockfish. That is why I voted for Stockfish winning TCEC.
"as a stubborn Scandi player"-----EXACTLY!!!!
Use what ever engine that works, both engines are the best. But that is not the point of proper engine testing. And you clearly don't force inferior openings on a player, that does not play for example the Scandi, because they know it sucks.
And I did notice you did not give the position that Stockfish saved your position. What was the position, and what was Lc0 score. +1 after many hours of search, but you found a refutation with only Stockfish.
Why would you even bother to keep playing such line to find only a way to draw that you thought was a clear loss. That is what you get from the starting position. I know "a stubborn Scandi player".

but there are some myths in chess still, the lines that i found equalzed are
1) white plays 5. Ne5 Cbd7 6.f4 g6 6.7. Bc4 e6 8. a4 and
2) 5. Ne5 Be6 6. Af4 Qd8 7. Qd2 both in the 3. ...Qd6 scandinavian.
But it isn't the point and you would be know, the point is 'perfect" openings with about +- 0.20
are less common that those with say us +0.50 after the opening,in that sense TCEC is very well
designed.
And, bias or not bias, the conditions are the same (duh) for both engines, so, if engine
B is not enough trained in that openings (hypothesis..) that engine A, the fault of who is!?

In that position CFish 230920 evaluate +1.06 @D31, well i repaired that.

openings, the fault is his.
