Of course, I am investigating further.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

I'm doing a 51 ply search, but it seems really volatile.
Right now, at a depth of 45 the score is +169.

With experimental Kaissa clone, the last three PVs have become more stable than before, but this is at a high depth, for Kaissa depth 45 but it does more extensions than anyone I think :lol: I have not really checked yet whether I have edited everything right in the Stockfish sources and this is its first run..
Threw out all the null move changes and some of the heavy pruning.

I don't think you'll find ...b5 wins for Black and you're just seeing Black's material advantage of Queen vs Knight ad Bishop, I suppose. It's an unusual imbalance and not sure the material imbalance table is getting it right.

Kaissa sticks to ...Na6 throughout only checking ..b5 if there is a temp FL of ...Na6

2. Nxd6 passed 2. O-O but only at depth 46, it may switch back. Both scores look a bit drawish; slightly less negative for White than in the beginning. In the O-O line, 6...Rf8 may be an improvement over 6...Qf7 but Stockfish does not see it here even though the depth is high. Only if you go to that move:

These are pretty deep searches and scores might seem almost winning for Black, but I have doubts. Maybe it is the material imbalance that cause Stock to overevaluate the advantage. Trompe l'oeil On the other hand the high scores a certain discrepancy with the more drawish scores from the first diagram Multi PV = 4 from the beginning of the line. So Dann's diagram more a Nordlandia material imbalance postion :) The draw is not clear.

Post by jp »

What is the concern here? Is it that at depth 40 or 50 it switches, or is it the difference in eval. at one higher ply?
If it gives many moves similar evals, it's not a surprise if it switches, right? That's not really volatility.

For me, I was mainly interested if there really was a win, a strong winning move as Dann seemed to expect, or a gradual one. Given a Queen against Knight and Bishop and pawn, or Queen and Rook against 4 light pieces, is Queen highly redundant with two Rooks and is there disadvantage of no light pieces at all for Black, or is White missing the heavies more than Black the light brigade.

I had one search still running, :oops: not really worth the electricity but maybe something would change. It does not seem like it, the advantage is still there but I can't see any winning score for Black.

Yes, that's what we're in the end interested in. And whether engines can evaluate the positions reliably.

59 7821:09-2.30 ... (915.229.370.617) 1950

59 7821:09-1.96 ... (915.229.370.617) 1950
That's good. :) But what do the numbers mean? I assume 59 is depth, 7821:09 time in minutes:seconds.
-2.30 I assume is the score. And the numbers at the end ((915.229.370.617) 1950) -- nodes & something else?

Yes, the -2.30 at depth=59 has decreased slightly from the -2.56 at depth=50, so it looks like the engine can't see a winning line.

What I've said before is that it's hard to claim there's one clear PV when in so many positions the engines show very small differences in eval. between different moves.

Hoi Jean Paul,
Yes you are correct on all counts :) This just the standard output of Shredder GUI. The last number is not really giving much information as it is just nodes per second on my machine, using one thread.

Yes, not one PV possible, but many moves, all with a good score but none showing real progress. In a Monte Carlo search, I don't know if they would scale down the evaluation in such a case because it seems you can't win, in many variations, so winning chances must be lower than eval indicates, Always tricky if there is very slow progress possible, with good endgame knowledge in eval that is better than just concluding there is no progress, but with only trained eval you usually don't have that precision.
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Yes, we can give the engine TBs, but it still needs to bridge the endgame before TB positions.

Now that engines search so deeply, they end up "making their plans" out of the opening based on very shallow searches of endgame positions at the leaves of a deep tree. This seems like an area where Stockfish, for example, could improve a lot.
