Next Komodo version?

[yurikvelo]

Anyone know approximately when the next Komodo version will be out?

Komodo 9.4 has been released.

Komodo 9.4 is about 15 Elo stronger than Komodo 9.3
Komodo 9.4 includes two new parameters: 'Contempt for White' and Dynamism

What's UCI Analysis mode?

Do I need that ticked for use in IDeA?

I want normal analysis without any contempt.

UCI_AnalysisMode is set by many GUIs when going into analysis. It allows the engine programmer to do things differently in long analysis (such as preserving hash entries longer).

If you want no Contempt during play or analysis, set Contempt to 0 (zero).

Thanks.

So in IDeA I can just leave UCI analysis unchecked and let the Aquarium GUI look after it?

Also on your 9.4 README file I think there is a word missing. Is 9.4 gaining more or less on multi thread c/p with single thread?!

Thanks.

Hmm..isn't it enough to just uncheck the Box "Contempt for White " ?
Is it necessary to manually set the Contempt to 0 ?

"Contempt for White" if on locks the Contempt value to the white side. If off, it applies Contempt for the side the computer is playing. In that case, switching sides moves contempt to the other color.

So, just set Contempt to 0 (zero) and no contempt will be used no matter how Contempt for White is set.

You're a tad late.
I think most have figured that out by now .

Our testing has shown Komodo gains more with more threads.

So we do not fill talkchess with Komodo Chess support questions, I suggest directing them to the email address on the website, unless the issue is one a large number of people would want to know.
