Still following Stockfish-dev's main line, with a current evaluation of -1.38 (though only at depth 50). Still waiting for something other than a Stockfish move!
Now at -1.48, at depth 60.
-1.44 at depth 63.

I honestly don't get 5...Ne7, unless Harvey is going to play a shocker in the next two moves, I have that in the position Nge7 would have transposed, black had 2 great alternatives, so this certainly saves me a lot of time not having to check them out anymore.

5...Ne7 is the move that avoids the guaranteed draw ;-)

I don't know about that move. You two are playing WAY TOO fast for my crippled computer and I to keep up with the analysis. It looks as if there were better moves.

I'm just running Stockfish-dev, without providing any guidance at all. So far, all moves since g5 have been Stockfish first choices at depths of about 60. So I'm watching Stockfish self-play so far!

Well, so far Stockfish has found all the kernels. Or was "blind hen" intended to be self-referential. :wink:
