Whenever you crank up the engine, everything begins to feel like child's play. I, an unassisted human, feel like Conan the barbarian when I face down my opponent, but once engines are involved the whole facade crumbles down and all I see is a board and a bunch of wooden pieces, just as soulless as the computer which recommends this or that move. It disillusiones me, ha ha. This isn't a criticism against engines per se, but with their approach to the game everything becomes stale. I don't like playing against them, feels like a waste of time. Besides, you've had very nice games today, I was more than once on the edge of my seat during them. I'm glad that you do these videos nearly every day, they're very entertaining (I don't like using that word though, as you're not an actor ;)
@@sssppp4248 Yeah, I don't enjoy playing the engines but definitely feel I get ideas from using them in analysis (even if just debunking my bad ideas). Thanks for the comment and I'll gladly settle for the word "entertaining" above some alternatives. 😅
