I talk about progress in normal chess at LTC
UHO opening is not normal chess.
And this just false. My UHO openings are selected out of the Megabase and all openings were played by strong human players. So, no openings could be more "normal"/human chess than UHO. And I did not change anything in these openings, I just used the KomodoDragon eval for selecting them. Thats why I called them UHO: Unbalanced Human Openings. All Openings were played by strong humans (all players must have 2300+ Elo. All games played after WW2, so no crazy gambits from 19th century or so). All games out of the Megabase.
Just as example, here the first 5 lines out of the UHO_2022_6mvs_+120_+129 file, which I use for the VLTC Stockfish regression test.
(Shirov, Ivanchuk, Kamsky, Morozevich are the players, which played the lines with black, which ends with a clear white advantage. Are these players not "normal" or not strong enough for playing good chess? I am so tired of reading such nonsense about my work)

Lets take a look at your work. And see what the best players feel about your openings today.
Not one top human player plays your garbage openings anymore. As they know the openings are awful even for them. After the first top player blundered the opening.
These openings are in the scrap heap of history.
