Reply to comment by nemarholvan in [OC] Percent of human moves matching computer recommended moves in top chess tournaments by Evidently_21

Two possibilities (I think it’s the first but could be wrong)

1 in openings the players have run engines to a higher depth so the moves they play are actually better than rerunning the engine on a lower depth

2 players are trying to play off the beaten track into a position they understand better. If you just play top engine move for 15 moves then it isn’t that hard for your opponent to also play top move because they also know the engine line

Edit: to clarify 2 100% happens I just don’t think that’s why the engine eval is wrong
