In this position, Stockfish likes d5 but the analyser on Chess.com called this an inaccuracy. So which is right?
Bowdler Sicilian - Chess.com calls early d5 an inaccuracy but Stockfish likes it. Which is right?
Sort:
Don't trust engines in opening positions, especially such weak ones. Chess.com overestimates blacks position after Nc6. The moves should transpose more or less. I would prefer d5 as it is more direct and it is also the move played more often in my correspondence chess database.
