I was going through some openings study and found something that seemed rather odd to me:
The engine proposes a move to be the best available (I let it run for a few seconds) and then when played, it classifies the move as inaccurate (see attached example; left panel is before move, right panel is after).
Reading some other posts I thought maybe it was due to the fact that, despite being the best move, the resulting evaluation after the move was worse. But reading the evaluation bar, I see that the evaluation doesn't seem to change after the move: +0.06 vs +0.06 (I'm interpreting the number on the bar as the current evaluation and the number on the engine line as the evaluation after the suggested move/line).
What am I getting wrong? Any thoughts on this apparent inconsistency are appreciated.
A few seconds really isn't that long and you're likely going to get differences. I like to go to at least depth 20 in any casual look. For more serious positions even deeper.
In really complex positions, it might completely change a ply later, even if you let it go deep.
