If you find someone online who plays far more like an engine in many games over time vs solid opposition than Fischer, Kasparov, Estrin, Berliner & many others, then you have to ask what reasonable cause there is for this.
thanks for your time and your views ,you clearly know your chess ,

Cheers.
But really it's more a question of experience than chess knowledge.
I'm only an intermediate (1600-1800) player, whereas the game mods who look at and also generate this data then forward their suggestions to admin are much stronger players than I.
Fortunately for me, any old idiot can copy/paste PGN into a batch analysis tool & begin automated analysis with an engine then wait for results to be spat-out 12 hours or so later 😉

Best looking at someone like Squelbelch's posts with regard to engine analysis..there are a number of highly competent analysts here prepared to spend good time amidst their resources.

That's perfectly true. I registered this new username after being given the ok by Chris.
Through accident I sometimes post under my old username, but this is purely because I still get pm's to it which I always try to answer & then forget to log out & post under this otherwise unused account!

This game just serves to fortify the sentiment of "Never give up!"
