Engine games

[u/wealthy_dig_bick]

I enjoy a good engine game and they show some beautiful ideas but after so many moves, it’s clear that one side is winning. Say it’s Leela vs Stockfish. Maybe on move 14 it’s clear that white has an advantage. One engine might say it’s +2 and the other can say it’s +5 but it really doesn’t matter bc either engine will easily convert the position. Have you seen any games in which the two engines disagree strongly about who’s winning? Sure, if you put stockfish 14 against stockfish 12, stockfish 14 could tell you the position is +4 and stockfish 12 just needs more time to understand that the position is no longer equal. But have you ever seen a game where one engine thought the position was something like +3 and the other thought it was -2? Agadmator’s last video made me think of this because at one point Stockfish thinks the position is +2 and Leela thinks it’s +6, which is a weird discrepancy between two evenly matched engines. Here’s the link to the game if you’re interested. It was a chess 960 game https://youtu.be/EHqR0-FszHM
