Yes they do! Of course they do.
"Hash is cleared every time a move is made on the Board."
This becomes the new Root Position, and the calculation & evaluation begins
again."The Program evaluates e-v-e-r-y Legal move in every position on the
Board, Ranks them in order from Best to worst based on the feedback from the
Alpa Beta Algorithm. The Engine makes the best move F-o-u-n-d at the time the
software tells it to move.
We've been over this.
Engines don't have intelligence or plan or make blunders!
They 'evaluate' that's all they do!
It's not the Hardware either.
It's the d-e-p-t-h of Search.
Whoever gets there the quickest wins the race.
The problem with Computers is finding the 'best' move in the alloted time it
has. It may only be able to search for example 14/35 ply when it has to move.
It's PV eval at the time may be (-2.50)
The Human sees one move deeper by knowledge and plays the right move.
At 15/40 Ply the PV Eval may change to (+- 3.0)
We saw this in Pom's game against Fritz.
