Is it possible to give a knight odd to komodo and draw?

Post by Uri Blass »

I think the following competition should be interesting.

Opponent play against komodo when komodo has fixed number of nodes per move and 1024 mbytes hash and clear the hash after every move in order to have a deterministic machine when the opponent can be practically a human who use engines to help him in analysis and is allowed unlimited times of take back.

The competition should be who is the opponent who get a draw against komodo with the biggest number of nodes per move(when white starts without knight b1 and komodo black).
