I run Stockfish in a deterministic configuration and play the move it suggests. My opponents can know in advance how I will respond to any given move. For upcoming games I will use Stockfish 17.1 with a 50 million node search. Previously I used Stockfish 17 at 10 million and 15 million nodes, then Stockfish 17.1 at 10 million and 20 million nodes, but winning strategies for white have been found against each of those settings. Games already running will continue at the setting I started the game with. See forum posts in my thread "Stockfish unbeatable at modest settings?" for details. If you want a quick draw as black against the 17.1 @ 50 million nodes strategy, I recommend the following line where white's deterministic strategy gets caught in a repetition: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be3 Ng4 7. Bc1 Nf6
