About position 317

With depth=40 is in 51th place , with depth =24 in 25th place.

Against 1.Ng3 in those positions where is not possible 1...Ng6 is quite acceptable 1...f6 or 1...f5 this last also to close b1-h7 diagonal.

you calculated using the Elo formula... but Lichess uses Glicko-2, not Elo. does this change anything?

Do you mean if I would calculate expected results with glicko formula instead elo ? I don't think so. It would be possible that some positions may change a little their position in the arrangement, but if ranking is the same both formulae must give EW=0,5. I do not give white and black elos to do not inflate too much the blog with data , but I can tell you that their difference were very low specially in databases with many games, I needed to work with many decimals.

In any case it can be interesting to do to recalculate EW to know what happens.
