From the docs: "It also calculates the sharpness of a move, as defined in Evaluating sharpness with Leela’s WDL"
The leela WDL doc is a little over my head. Looking for how a basic human would use this stat.
My best guess, and my hope, is that it tells you how easy it is to screw something up if you make a particular move. The lower the sharpness, the more idiot-proof the line you're entering is.
It seems to just correspond to percentage of draws - the higher the sharpness, the less drawish the line. That could entirely be coincidence though.
These are just wild guesses though. Would love some enlightenment and advice on how to use sharpness when deciding which move is best for an average human. (Whereas stockfish evaluations like to send you down tricky lines that require you to play perfectly or you lose)
