And seeing basically that you can never objectively win by best play.
It feels like a total downer
Fischer talked about crushing someomes ego, when i look at the engine, it feels he was so correct
Dont look at the engine!
Hey it's alright when you get a game with 1 innacurcy , 0 mistakes 0 blunders , these games come every now and again ...............remember you're only as good as your opponent xxx
Lower the analysis settings and you will have played a faultless game. Increase the setting and you will see inaccuracies, errors and mistakes. Adjust the engine analysis according to your values. Example duration of analysis (secs) 1 second or 30, Depth 1 or 40, inaccuracy 1 cp or 200 and so forth. Change the values according to your needs. Be picky and change the default values. Have a bit of fun and really detect what was really good and what was the worst of the moves.
Discover the point of no return. The point where that last inaccuracy cost the game.
I get fascinated when I look at Analysis after a Chess game ... I see what I missed . When I was younger we dreamt of such a day' . Chess POUNDS You into knowing the TRUTH
@binjetzterstbeimArzt I wish we had this when dirty politicans opoen thier mouths & tell not the truth hehe' heh' . A computer that is FREE & STRONGER than any HUMAN Looking at your games for free ? How can THAT be bad for you ? Only GOOD
Depends on your purpose.
My purpose in chess is to have fun decent generally blunder free games.
If your purpose is to compare, you don't even need engines to feel bad. Just look at the thousands of players who are at least +300 than you. And that would make you feel worse, because those guys are not even engines, let alone masters, and you have very little chances of beating them. But if that's your purpose, so be it. Everyone has different purposes for whatever activity they engage in.
But as for me, I know my purpose, and I know how to enjoy recreational activities.

Here's the thing: no opponent plays the theoretically best play. In fact... you may even be better off playing a sub-optimal line, just because it's more complicated and your opponent is thus more likely to make mistakes.
Chess rarely is about "best possible play".
The engine can never enjoy a sunset, or a baby's laughter. Remember that.
