I also thought that SF Dev was much stronger in 960 but Dragon is pretty even.

Dragon dynamism at 80 instead of 100.

Latest SF Dev show mere -1 for black. Short analysis. 5nnk/5ppp/8/8/8/8/7P/5BBK w - - 0 0 Suprisingly this is considered as big edge -1 plus. Which cast some doubts on the credibility on the BB ~ NNP rule of thumb. 1n2k1n1/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPP1PPP/2B1KB2 w - - 0 0 https://i.postimg.cc/Cx13y5V5/Cool...

For chess players who have lived at least a while, the ICC will always be a bit nostalgic. I think the ICC is having a bad time because people prefer free sites instead. It is conceivable that the ICC has had a tough decade precisely because of free sites abounding.

It may be winning for black.

Dragon won just recently against Lc0 with dynamism raised to 120 and table memory at 128. Leela 330 net used. 30m+30s TC.

I tried this unique position for Dragon as black against SF and Lc0. It looks like white has good compensation for a couple of pawns. The compromise is that blacks are not allowed to castle. So far, the games ends as draw. I was wondering if any other settings apart from default makes it doable for ...

Evaluation doesn't mean a thing. Engines can evaluate a dead-lost position as +8.5. You would have to play out the game.

Correct. I'll see how it goes.

BB vs NNPP | +1.5 pawn edge for black. Is white able to defend ?
