More games are needed to reduce error margin, just statistics.
It is logical that with higher contempt, the average move numbers will increase, basically the engine with the higher contempt refuses to get early draws. Nice cross table btw.
I agree about Andscacs, it would be nice if its author implements contempt.
About contempt=15 being too much for SF, let's see what happens with more tests.
I have never tested Stockfish with such a high contempt before. At the moment Stockfish seems to like the setting at contempt 15. If this test turns out to show promise. I will do more testing to confirm your findings.
Thanks Mark.
+114 Elo so far for SF c15 is impressive. I hope you keep testing it.

First test is complete. I will do the same test again with Komodo set to contempt 0. Stockfish will stay at the same setting contempt 15.
As with your data we see 100 elo advantage for Stockfish over Komodo 10.1

Andscacs with Contempt = 10 ... I am very sure engine goes high with more as 15 Elo and is in the near from Fire and GullChess. Should be absolutely clear if I am looking how many games Andscacs gave fast draw with 3-fold. Andscacs is strong in king attacks / tactic and have a very good eval.
I just added contempt to Andscacs, so next version will have it
