What's the biggest advantage you've seen ? • page 1/1 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

Sorry for bad english.
I mean the biggest +/- you've seen from SF analysis.
I think I've seen a +70, but of course, it soon becomes a #something (or #-something of course)

So what's the biggest you've seen, and is there a theorical max to this number ?

Thank you :)

There is a limit to a +99 or -99.

Is this a limit from Lichess, from SF or from chess in general ? Do you have a game showing a +/- 99 ?

On Lichess, it is +/- 99. Running an engine offline there is no limit, although as the number gets higher it is more likely to becom mate in N as depth increases.

You can see. When you put a position and leave Stockfish puzzling the position, if there's a forced mate but difficult to find then it will take time. And as time passes advantage will increase, and at once it would touch 99.9 and then simply #n where n is the forced mate it found.
