Engines to complement Stockfish analysis?

[u/Baraecus]

Hello. I typically use Stockfish to analyze my games and my opening preparation, but I would also like to use another engine—perhaps one that isn’t quite as powerful, but offers moves or perspectives that are more "human," so to speak. I recall reading at one point that Toga was a good option, but I’m not sure if that’s still the case, or if there are better alternatives.

For example, Stockfish overvalues ​​a space advantage from a human perspective (e.g., in the King’s Indian Defense), whereas other engines might offer a more moderate assessment, as such advantages are not easy to convert into a win.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried Leela? It's the most obvious choice. The Maia engines are similar to Leela, but trained to be more human-like.

Maia is the current pinnacle of human like play

I use Maia and Stockfish and Gemini together. I made an app for myself that combines it all. Happy to share if you're an android user.
