The Zeus engine is used. I do not like this. These are Stockfish clone engines and not open source. Everyone is welcome to use this engine privately, that is up to everyone. However, I want to optimize my books with freely available engines - and I don't know Zeus!
I was given the Zeus engine. What I can say is that it's mostly Stockfish, so if you tune your book for Stockfish it'll work for Zeus. I have never seen Zeus play anything different or better (for comparison, I HAVE seen Eman play radically different moves from SF and win), so it could be Stockfish Dev renamed to Zeus with no changes to the code, for all we know.
These guys fool themselves into thinking they have something special, because it's private and other people can't have it, but the truth is these private engines have nothing better that Stockfish has missing, this is true also for AI engine and HypnoS.
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.
Does this mean I can now share the misbehavior over in the Stockfish Discord, or do we still have a policy of not discussing bad behavior in other forums?
Fat Titz by Stockfish, the engine with the bodaciously big net. Remember: size matters. If you want to learn more about this engine just google for "Fat Titz".
You mean TalkChess? People that continue to violate the charter after a friendly request to amend their behavior will be banned. First for a short time, as a warning, and when this does not result in improved behavior eventually forever.

You do NOT have to worry about me anymore, I will ban myself if I notice that I have violated the charter and then I will spank myself you know where
NOTE: I just started spanking myself for all those preview ridiculous and annoying posts, and please do NOT post back to stick the banana where it could hurt me, there is another video of this guy where he said that he would peel the banana first, but that was as far as it went, he never showed the video, I believe on this video he is making the yelow banana soft first LMAOL==>
The past weeks you have caused more complaints about your postings, and made me move, merge or delete more postings than all other users combined during all the time I have been moderator. Rather than spanking yourself after the fact you should think before you post. There are some rules implicit for the use of any forum, which you seem to violate persistently. Let me spell them out for you:
* do not post the same text multiple times in a row.
* do not post the same text in different places
* do not post messages without new content, but only quoting those of yourself or others
* do not start multiple threads about the same subject (e.g. chess position or engine).
* do post in the relevant section; reporting games and match results should be done in the tournament section.
If you continue to cause me tons of work, eventually you will get banned.
Something that Chessqueen does that gets on my nerves is when they create a topic about some subject, then they post off-topic unrelated messages on that thread, because people skipping that thread will miss those messages if they interest them but not the thread's title, and others wanting to talk about the thread's subject will not be able to do so as Chessqueen floods the thread with off-topic posts.
But it's probably just me.
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.
Well, when off-topic postings that derail a discussion get reported, I usually split them off into their own thread. An occasional off-topic posting that doesn't get any follow-ups is not very disturbing to anyone, and usually not worth seeing anyway.
What annoys me is that it has become a habit of some to report every posting that expresses disagreement with what they had been saying as 'off topic'.

But what makes me really upset about Chessqueen is besides the combination of all that all of you have mentioned, is the fact that he continue with his stupid posts, and does NOT seems to care, therefore, I vote that he should be banned from this forum forever, even if he ends up showing back as somebody else, and that really annoys the hell out of me
