go movetime 1000bestmove c7c5 ponder g1f3- what is ponder? Something to do with thinking on the opponent's turn: permanent brain.
- understand the previous lines
To make the move it as suggested for black, we have to either repeat the entire sequence of movements:or alternatively we could also use the previous FEN notation as a starting point;Note how the Universal Chess Interface interface is very simple: we just load a state and then decide what to do next for that one state. The engine holds only one and exactly one state at a time, and you can't even modify it differentially without loading new one from scratch.

This is because of Cooper pair formation, just like in superconductors, but the transition happens at lower temperatures than superfluid helium-4, which is a boson.
aps.org/publications/apsnews/202110/history.cfm: October 1972: Publication of Discovery of Superfluid Helium-3 contains comments on the seminal paper and a graph which we must steal.
"Intel Research Lablets", that's a terrible name.
They died so completely, Googling "ICL" now has higher hits such as Imperial College London.
