https://www.chessdb.cn/queryc_en/ has now 1.g4 with -204 evaluation. Should be loss. But but - after playing 10 first moves it's only -159. These moves: 1. g4 d5 2. e3 Nc6 3. d4 e5 4. Nc3 Be6 5. dxe5 Nxe5 6. h3 h5 7. Nf3 Nxf3+ 8. Qxf3 hxg4 9. hxg4 Bxg4 10. Qg2 Rxh1. Why?

I don't know how they compute those scores, does not have to be comparable with Stockfish output. For instance after your line, neither side has made any more mistakes, apart from the first move I think? So if -204 only reflects how bad that move is in comparison with standard openings, maybe it goes up if White does play optimally further on. I have no idea.

I get this in your line after a while, with one of Eduard's Stockfish variants:

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.

These are SF evaluations. BTW this page https://github.com/robertnurnberg/grobt ... -file#1-g4 shows, that score has gone over 200, but win percentage is not improved in one year. About 98,5 % now.

Grob is black win. But Stockfish is not perfect yet. It cannot win all black games. This happen in one of 70 test games.
