sporatic lines?

Post by ChessAddict »

What does it mean when your engine is searching lines and it jumps around alot? Like let's say from 0.00 to +20.0 and then to -.49?

It may mean that the engine has no idea about the position, so the evaluation score swings like that.
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.
