recommended best move

When I analyze a previous game, I notice that the engine recommends the best move, which I take, but then it sometimes recommends a different move? Why would it recommend one move but then recommend a different one instead? Does anyone else notice this?

Depending on search depth, the engine comes up with different moves. The higher the depth, the better the move, generally. Since you're a free member, the search depth you have access to is limited.

Hm, I’m still confused. Are you saying that the search depth can pick a different best move one second, then choose a different one a few seconds later? I’m a paying member.

My bad, I didn't check your profile. And yes, the longer the engine thinks about a position, the more things it sees, that's why the evaluation is likely to change over time causing the program to consider a different move as the best.

alternative move that works just as well.
