Next Komodo vs GM match.

[Lyudmil Tsvetkov]

I tried the first one without contempt in a quick game(no time for more now).

Komodo does not seem to resist a lot:

Since Komodo was only averaging 16 plies for the first five moves, I'm guessing it was playing game in one minute? In our match with Izoria Komodo was getting around 32 plies on the first few moves. The difference between 32 plies and 16 plies is something like the difference between Magnus Carlsen and a 1500 player. Even if you are busy, surely you can give Komodo 3 min plus 1 sec increment at least.

3 minutes is a lot of time, Larry.
I wish I had 3 minutes at my disposal.
I understand this hurts Komodo, but I am also much better the longer the TC.
Btw., Izoria won a game, at last, congratulations to all the human race.

I played one more with black and c2/g2, seems even easier, again with my quick and dirty conditions:

Sorry, I can not resist, when Komodo plays a match, I have to try this out too.

Well Lyudmil, since nobody cares about your bullet games at 16 ply, why don't you play at 3+1 ? I don't understand the matter since you are stronger à longer time control.

Oh, that is new to me, I thought you cared.
I just explained to Larry, but obviously you don't care read.
