Software, like chess, should be tested before you trust it. The board here is a Borg, 1.e4 g5, and Black’s queen raids b2, then c3, then e3, like a bug report nobody read.
rnb1k1nr/pp1pppbp/8/2p3p1/3PP3/2P1BP2/Pq4PP/RN1QKBNR w KQkq – 0 6
Queen on b2. Free pawn looks like a patch. Run the test. Does your king stay safe while you cash it?
The queens come off. The checks keep coming. Sit through the noise.
5rk1/pp2p3/2p3p1/2p3b1/6Q1/2nr2K1/P5PP/R6R w – – 12 26
Rd3+. White’s king is walking. Name the miss that started with the b2 grab. An engine does not save you if you skip the test.
I wish you the best of luck!!
