Despite my weak programming knowledge, since I'm a computer chess fan, I decided to create a simple chess engine. I have already created the legality function and a simple recursive function that generates moves at a depth chosen at will. By inserting a simple counting variable I get the following r...

Yet another crushing win for Komodo. Seems that Contempt and MCTS go very well together! We'll play another game beyond the scheduled four, I want to give him a chance to score. Fantastic result, clearly ready for the next level! What is the contempt value for this match? Even with Komodo MCTS is r...

I would like to know if someone has created a book for handicap games, I am interested in the handicap f7 and those of knight b1.
I need some variety but still choose good lines, it doesn't need to be too deep.

I'm very excited for this match. Seeing Komodo someday that will give a knight odd vs GM at rapid TC is also my dream

Even with same time in LTC, good hardware and top engine, white is basically the only winner

The standard position is playable between top engines as long as there are wins. <5% wins is still not 0% wins and it is possible to give white more time to reduce the percentage of draws. It may be interesting to know the percentage of draws in a match with no opening book from the opening positio...

I will be waiting for alphazero AI chess softwares to position themselves; then we will see if they can resist the strength of the imagination of human intelligence of a simple chess player who plays for simple fun without belonging to Federation or any chess legue.

I remember that IM daniel rensch won easily vs Komodo with knight odd in a 3'+2" game few years ago (I don't think it run on a fast computer). I bet it won't be that easy now, I'd like to see a rematch, but at least 4 games against IM daniel rensch with this odd, maybe in a live on twich. After all ...

Thank you larry, we love what you do for the computer chess community

Is there a function to convert the Komodo MCTS score into a chance of winning as leela?
