I believe that random changes hurt komodo's playing strength and the same for other top programs but the question is how much and if people can start with something that is 50 elo weaker or 100 elo weaker than Ivanhoe only by some random modifications of the evaluation of IvanHoe and escape the similiarity test.


If they have to give up 50 - 100 ELO it is a disincentive not to cheat but a cheater by his very nature doesn't want to give up any ELO. I should qualify that. Some cheat just because they cannot program and will be happy with a pretty weak program, but the more typical case I call the "Rosie Ruiz" style cheater.

But I don't think this weakening can easily fool the test because Doch through Komodo had well over 50 ELO due just to evaluation improvements which did not fool the test. This was a lot of weight changes and added terms.

It's surprising to me how resilient that test is to trickery - but I don't think we yet understand it's limits. It seems likely to me that it will have some weaknesses.
