I've been playing on the default PGA Tour Season Settings; by default the AI Scoring Difficulty is set to 50. I've also been playing with the default Tour Difficulty settings - not sure if that impacts the AI Scoring Difficulty as well?

Anyway, I am about 1/4 through the career season and the best AI score at the end of a tournament seems to average around -15; the peak I've seen so far is -21. How much better does the AI get when you set the AI Scoring Difficulty to 100?

I'm ~1400 lichess bullet and in the last few days almost every game I'm facing the scandi. Did someone come out with a new video about it or something?

This game from today brought me to my breaking point. It's just one of hundreds of games I've had to endure in this position. If I play the french do I just need to accept that half my games are going to result in this boring symmetrical position?

Nearly all my exchange games go

1. e4 e6 2. Nf3 d5 3. exd5 exd5 4. d4 Bd6 5. Bd3 Nf6 6. Bg5

I'm frustrated and I don't know what to do to play for an advantage. Is there a sideline I'm missing that can break the symmetry? I've played around in opening explorer but it seems like everything transposes into the same patterns and its all just drawish.

I love the french because in other variations there is a

I just played a game where I blundered my queen on move 15, so I attempted to draw the game through perpetual checks. Move 16, 18, 20, and 22 are all identical positions. Why wasn't this an automatic draw?
