Slav Defense: Quiet Variation, Schallopp Defense

Toscani

Without taking risks, the game will draw. So when is the best time to take a risk?

https://lichess.org/game/0uAeZ9Z1

escalator.py — evaluates move risks, position volatility, and game predictability.

Supports dynamic limits (wall-clock movetime or fixed depth) combined with an evaluation floor guardrail to prevent blunders. It loops through every legal move using either movetime or depth limits, filters out sub-optimal moves, and computes a Risk/Predictability Factor.
