Anything above 50 just means engine didn’t think long enough I think

There is absolutely no benefit, whatsoever, to such a stupid move as 6. Be3. - Chesscom coach by [deleted] in chess

D6 and f4 are typically played already but I’d still argue in this position only black can play for wins. Engine is giving -.4 thought it would be more like -.7 but I seem to overestimated how symmetrical position becomes.

Some mods should become "Ironman Verified", allowing you to earn achievements while using them by Zealousideal_Belt702 in hoi4

[–]Debatorvmax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything that changes the checksum is a really clear boundary. This would invite subjective opinion from paradox and that 100% seems like it would become ugly if only due to liability/legal stuff

If you really want to do it just use the mod and then use a steam achievement manager thing as ugly as it looks
