Evaluation showed, actual or after best line?

Post by Luis Babboni »

The usual "evaluation" engines use to show in the GUI, is the evaluation of the actual position or the evaluation of the position the engine thought it will be reach if both opponents do what the engine saw as best line?

Thanks.
