As for analysis and Dynamism, wouldn't it be good to have a value of its own as well as contempt has, some kind of "White Dynamism" too? And wouldn't that be so for King's Safety as welllkaufman wrote:My subjective feeling is that the evals using the default of 120 seem a bit too high for the side with the Dynamic plus, but that's what tests well. I think your 110 is a very reasonable choice for analysis.
Of course not. I just updated my website. Finally the calculation of my new gamebase for Stockfish-testruns was finished (one month of calculation...). Now, I am testing the latest Stockfish. When this testrun is finished, I will test Komodo 11.2.JJJ wrote:

congrats on the achievement.lkaufman wrote:We urge testing groups to test this version despite the short two month period since the last one, as the gains would usually take us four months or more.
It's possible, but we haven't really investigated such asymmetric evaluation and I don't know whether it would be very useful.peter wrote:Hi Larry!As for analysis and Dynamism, wouldn't it be good to have a value of its own as well as contempt has, some kind of "White Dynamism" too?

I'm sure this would be nice too.Nordlandia wrote:How long before Android version is ready?

Wonderful!lkaufman wrote:Komodo 11.2 has been released at komodochess.com. We skipped over 11.1 as the elo gain from 11.01 is unusually large (estimated 24 elo) and also to avoid confusion between 11.01 and 11.1. Gains came from all areas, search, eval, and time management. As usual, it is free to subscribers (and to anyone who bought 11.01 in July) and discounted 20% to those who bought 10.00 or later version. It is the version that won the World Computer Championship this month with some speedups, a minor bugfix, and a changed UCI option default. We urge testing groups to test this version despite the short two month period since the last one, as the gains would usually take us four months or more.
Well, Larry, I would expect it to be as useful as for Contempt, which makes any other evaluation asymmetric anyhow too, doesn't it?lkaufman wrote:It's possible, but we haven't really investigated such asymmetric evaluation and I don't know whether it would be very useful.
It has been made and is being tested now. So soon.Nordlandia wrote:How long before Android version is ready?

You really want to use "White Contempt" when analyzing back and forth. Otherwise, Contempt will be used for whatever side Komodo is calculating a move for. "White Contempt" locks down Contempt for a specific color's point of view. Contempt is definitely asymmetrical.peter wrote:Well, Larry, I would expect it to be as useful as for Contempt, which makes any other evaluation asymmetric anyhow too, doesn't it?lkaufman wrote:It's possible, but we haven't really investigated such asymmetric evaluation and I don't know whether it would be very useful.
Of course one could be confident with that kind of asymmetric eval only, but wouldn't it change the symmetry of King's Safety and Dynamism in analysis mode with each ply moving forward or backward like that's the case with Contempt?
So wouldn't a "White Dynamism" and or a "White King's Safety" be as necessary as a White Contempt is for analysis mode compared to playing for one side only mode
