What does everyone have their engine setting on? I’ve noticed when I have it on standard some moves aren’t being accounted for whereas when I have it on maximum the move is considered a better move. Am being dishonest if I prefer max?

You should only be using an engine in post game analysis which doesn't impact anyone, so using the maximum setting is fine in that case.

i think you read my post wrong

for example i would review it with standard and it would say it was only 2 great moves but when on max it would say 3. i said dishonest because it made me feel better getting 3 great moves as opposed to 2

The stronger the analysis, the more accurate it's going to be.
