What will be the score of knight odds match vs. FM Bolzoni?

[lkaufman]

Hi Larry,
I have a question when the "tweak to avoid piece trades" is applied. Does the PV prefer lines where only the engine side avoids piece trades? Or is it execting the human side to think the same way?

Ideally, only the engine wants to avoid piece trades and it expects the human to play without the contempt in its analysis.

cheers

It is expecting the human side to seek exchanges to the same degree as the engine avoids them. That seems correct to me. I'm sure that he is seeking exchanges.

thanks. How is it done? Does the contempt works like increasing own piece values a little bit higher than the opponents pieces? In effect it thinks trading is not fair

That's the effect, but the implementation is a bit different. It especially hates to trade queens when contempt is high.
