When there is no opening theory Humans are at disadvantage vs Engines

Therefore in Chess960 (FRC) computer engines should always take black against Top humans and give them at least a pawn Odds, but in the case of the best Chess960 engine Stockfish could give Carlsen a Knight Odds. I bet that even Loop for Chess 960 Engine rated 2755 can give a pawn odds to Carlsen, at Chess960 (FRC) For instance look at these weirds positions that arrives from Chess 960 at Biel ==>


34 Tornado 8.0 2806 +16 −16 53.1% −22.5 22.2% 1520
97.2%
35 Arminius 2018-12-23 2785 +17 −17 47.9% +14.9 22.2% 1310
63.1%
36 GNU Chess 5.60 2782 +11 −11 45.7% +32.0 23.6% 3220
100.0%
37‑38 Loop for Chess960 2755 +7 −7 53.2% −26.9 23.1% 8620
51.4%
Do NOT worry and be happy, we all live a short life :roll:
