It's really amazing. I have also drawn against level 8, but it was not a complete draw like you did. Please beat him.

This is original content!! Thank you for sharing!!

But seriously, what excites me about it is: for decades players have been talking about engine evaluations like "+1.2" or "-2.3" which are even worse witchcraft. Obviously evaluations should at least consist of multiple values, like "hand-crafted evaluation" a.k.a. "classical evaluation" https://www.chessprogramming.org/Stockfish#Classical_Evaluation

Of course Stockfish 8 here on lichess is not the full Stockfish. It is a weakened version of Stockfish provided for our training and/or amusement. I think that it's rating is around 3000. To train against the full Stockfish, one can download Stockfish 17 with NNUE https://stockfishchess.org/download/ and play it using a chess GUI ref: https://official-stockfish.github.io/docs/stockfish-wiki/Download-and-usage.html#download-a-chess-gui ... The full Stockfish playing with only 4 CPU's is rated over 3600 at a time control of 40 moves in 15 minutes on an Intel i7-4770k with access to a 3-4-5 piece EGTB ref: https://computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/4040/

How is this approach any different from the kind recommended by IM Silman ("How to Reassess Your Chess") or the approach taken by chess masters? Every commentated chess match emphasizes doing your "Super Eval" reinvention to understand the position instead of using the engine alone. Why do you think you are not reinventing the wheel here?
