What _I_ want to see is how this new komodo 10.2 does vs the SF that played in stage 3 of TCEC, OR, the version of SF that played in Graham Banks matches between sf and komodo.
It is very frustrating to have two moving targets at the same time.
e.g. let's say komodo beats ASM, how will we know if the older SF version, which Graham used, wouldn't have crushed komodo 10.2 like it did to komodo 10.1?
We should first test a moving target with a standing target before we go on to the second moving target.
I think we'll do ok relative to stockfish in tests like Frank's where each opponent plays against many other opponents, but we will not look so good in direct matches with Stockfish. The reasons for this are not all clear, although "Contempt" is a factor. It's up to each person to decide whether a direct match or a rr tournament is a better way to decide which of two engines is stronger. There are arguments both ways.
Larry, for use in IDeA, should contempt be set to zero?

after 444 games @ 3 min/3 sec/, the K10.2-K11.1 spread has widen to 17.3 ELO - certainly within the expected range for a limited number of game - will be stopping this run as it appears my last mod did not have a desired affect on SF ...also I misread Larry's comment about contempt and had it set to 15 for this run and I believe it may have impacted K's result against SF
