| Mar 7, 2023 at 20:15 | comment | added | Glorfindel♦ | @user30536 since the editor is the one being quoted, it makes sense, but we (the Chess.SE community) may roll it back if no clarification follows. | |
| Mar 7, 2023 at 17:53 | comment | added | user30536 | Is the editor hijacking the answer here? Is that really allowed? | |
| Mar 7, 2023 at 13:11 | comment | added | Glorfindel♦ | @JohnTromp and 'accurate' is subjective - you might want to add the uncertainty. | |

The key thing being estimating this can allow us to typically find the optimal moves for a given position. | |
