Stockfish 8 is bad at atomic ... again :) I just discovered it !

#1

Hi,

I put the link of what i discovered on stockfish level 8 on my profile :
https://lichess.org/@/JustTrying1111

you can defeat stockfish everytime it plays that defense 3...Nc3 and that's its main line !
I also explain the reason.
I think it's because after move 6, the lichess engine thinks it's a 3.3 position and needs more than 28s on my computer to find the best move 7.Qf3 and then, that's a +10 and white just can't loose now.

update 26 june 2024 : because of my study, 2 days ago they modified the eval of the move 3...Nh6.
it says now +9.1 right away, instead of considering it as the best move with a +3.2 eval ...
If you look in the chat of my study, the user ProgrammerAngrim wrote :
"looks like 3.. Nh6 was the critical error. +9.1 at depth after that move"
24h after, the engine said right away +9.1.
i made them change the engine :)
that mistake has been present for years, if you look at old games evaluated at the time (disable eval and look at the old evals of that position, that's something) !
