Hey,
I have a question. When I analyse games on my computer I use the program "Arena 3.51" together with different engines (Stockfish10 and more). The evaluation system always confuses me, because it doesn't stick to the standard rule for evaluations.
As far as I know, is the standard defined according to this rule: evaluation : +- number
The "+ sign" shows that white has an advantage. "+sign" = white
The "- sign" shows that black has an advantage. "- sign" = black
This is the rule that Stockfish10 here on LiChess uses.
On my computer "Arena 3.51 together with Stockfish10" always confuses me, because it doesn't stick to this rule.
This program uses the "+ sign" as an abbreviation for advantage and the "- sign" as an abbreviation for disadvantage.
Here it is important who must make the next move.
Example: I started with the standard position, but white has no queen.
White to move : The programm shows the following evaluation: -13.2. This is of course totally ok
Then I made the move d4.
Black to move now : The programm shows the following evaluation: +13.6. This is totally stupid now, because you may think that white has an advantage now.
Does anybody know where it is possible to change the settings to standard in this program.?
