So far it seems that network 20 is now stronger than the best of the 10k series on my 2080. That doesn't make it competitve with the best of the 40k series yet, but it does make it look pretty promising. I would expect it to scale better with more time, so it is even possible that network 20 is alre...

So far it seems that network 3 is not at all competitive with the best regular Lc0 network (I'm using 42372, 2080 gpu, 2' + 1"). Am I missing something? Is there some reason to think network 3 is actually useful now? Running it on a 2080 vs SF on 1 core is silly, that doesn't tell us anything. Of c...

How many rollouts per second does one core of K13.01 achieve? I know this will differ greatly based on processor and processor speed, but is there a rough way to know? \ On my fast laptop, using one core only, it reports 1000 nodes after 12 seconds in opening position, so 83 nps. It doesn't sound l...

FGRL Rating list - 10 minutes + 6 seconds Komodo 13.01 MCTS ( +53 to Komodo 12.3 MCTS) http://www.fastgm.de So just as with CEGT 40/20, the gain is far more than the 30 elo we estimated for blitz, so the improved scaling worked. Now only 70 elo between the two modes of Komodo 13 on your list. I ima...

Hopefully I am not barking up a dead tree or wasting anyone's time....this is mostly asked of Team Komodo, Team CEGT...or anyone who really has something to say. I am going to hope my formatting stays true for this cut/paste. These are the Komodo versions since 9 for the CEGT 40/20 just released. I...

The 67 elo gain for Komodo 13.01 mcts over 12.3 mcts on 40/20 after over a thousand games is a very pleasant surprise! Our estimate at blitz was just +30. It seems that a change we made to improve scaling with increased time paid off even better than I hoped!

~snip~ The scores reported by an MCTS engine like Komodo MCTS already reflect the possiblility of the opponent going wrong in plausible ways. Maybe it doesn't do it the same way you would, but at least to a significant degree it does what you want. That's really interesting. If this is possible wit...

Is contempt of 13 ideal for selfplay matches? I remember it should be approximately equivalent to default contempt of 10 in earlier Komodo versions. Adjusting contempt to 13 from 16 give same effect as 10 in earlier versions right? Assuming K13.01 vs K13.01. Also a value for K13.01 vs K12.3 is also...

I have a question. If I purchase chessbase Komodo 12 (or latest chessbase version) then can I get the newest version of the engine? Basically I want the newest Komodo with the latest chessbase GUI. Then just wait a few days until Komodo 13 goes on sale on the chessbase website. They haven't announc...
