I thought about using stockfish to see what the engine would say about some openings and I wondered what is considered to be a high engine depth. I usually aim for 40 depth on stockfish 14 because it took a bit of time but I don't know if a high depth would be more like 50 or 60

I'm not sure, but I just max out the setting and wait a little while to see what the engine thinks after it meditates for a while.

Engines do sometimes smoke weed and gets high. It's because it’s the only explanation I have for most of the time when it suggests a move as a brilliant move.
