Nov-07-19  Cheapo by the Dozen: The engine seems a bit confused as to whether the countergambit is sound. E.g., it sees +0.08 after Move 12, but after White's recommended next move, it gives +0.52.

When posting engine evals it is important to name the engine used and the depth of the search. To do a more thorough analysis, the line should be played out a few moves with the engine set to "Infinite Analysis". This fills out the tree of moves and extends the horizon of the search. Then the line should be followed backwards starting at the end and moving back one ply at a time. Those of us who played on the CG World Team learned these painful lessons. It takes a long time to analyze a line.
