It contradicts itself-see below comments will be greatly >appreciated!!! Every program contradicts itself. I found many cases in analysis when the evaluation was positive and when I give the engine to play against itself the result was different. I simply did not think that this obvious fact is news. I do not know why you are surprised from it All the program are not close to be perfect and the only reason that they have a chance against grandmasters at tournament time control is that grandmaster also are not close to be perfect. I play with the white side of the svesnikov in one of my correspondence games and my programs are too greedy and often cannot find the theoretical moves. I give programs to analyze my games for hours to see if they can find something new because I do not trust theory but I see that it is also impossible to trust my computer programs about theory in most of the cases because they are too greedy and many hours of analysis do not help. The result is that in my game in the svesnikov I decided to follow theory because I found that if I analyze some move forward I see that my opponent has the initiative and the score of the machine starts to go down.
