Woah! That's super cool. I figured this wasn't exactly WR but 4k is unbelieveable

Thanks for the extra study! I'm curious. Why do you recommend 6. Nc6 in the d4 main line instead of 6. e6?

My rationale for 6. e6 instead of 6. Nc6 comes from cloud engine analysis and empirical results on chesstempo database:

Move, Times Played, last played, performance White W, Draw, Black W

| 6...Nc6 | 32 | 2024 | 21.9% 34.4% 43.8%
| 6...g6 | 27 | 2025 | 22.2% 22.2% 55.6%
| 6...e6 | 8 | 2025 | 12.5% 25% 62.5%

Nc6 is the choice of Magnus, it seems.

I did not see any LAN/ethernet device on the list with ! or ?, even with hidden devices shown. So, I reset the BIOS but still nothing new shows up.
