at the moment I have contact with a russian chess coach, he checked the database from my last tournament. He saw all the long games, first thing he does is copy all the games below move number 80 into a new database and look for lines for the opening he likes most. He wrote, no time for it looking in all the typical long computer chess engine games.
Found 14, great for an analysis with maybe new interesting lines found by engines.
So, I think about a tool that can do this ...
Step 1:
Truncate (maybe a job for Norm Pollock) if one of the engines are more than 5 moves evaluate with 0.00 if the final result = draw.
Step 2:
Truncate if both engines are more than 15 moves evaluate with -0.50 - +0.50 and the final result of the game = draw.
Step 3:
The tool should set a hint to the last position from the game (truncate with: ... name of the tool).
Good to have if a comp database is given to stronger chess players.
This one is perfect:
Step 4:
Games, a longer time (maybe 15 moves), the evaluation is -0.50 - +0.50 ended with 1:0 or 0:1 with more than 80 moves copied into a new database.
Such a tool is important today because the tools have a lot to do.
Can more easily find the endgame blunder. Can check contempt settings!
But in the time of neural networks such things are more and more rare.
