 There is plenty of room for diversity of opinion.
And you will never, never, never offend me because your opinion is different than mine.

I want to play against the computer at full strength.
Sure, I get a lot of beat downs that way. But even so, I enjoy it.

And when I have had one too many punches to the head by the unfeeling monster, I simply play a game against a weak program like Golem to get my revenge against the machine.

I would not play odds against a human or a machine because I would not enjoy it.
But other people can get a bang out of it and have fun.
At least you could have picked Vice 1.0 64 Bit rate around 2040. since Golem must be around 800 or 900 rated with plenty of bugs. My 9 years old daughter played this games and Golem lost on time.

I play against this version, which is more stable, but probably not any stronger:

Code: Select all

Here is a contest I ran ages ago, where Golem landed dead last:

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Thanks for the advice Dan, I decided to play versus Tscp and enjoyed even more than playing versus F with odds handicap.

Stockfish had 10 threads. I had to fix the pgn because I accidently made a move after the game was over.

Great Game Mike. I would also like to see more games from different great players like you such as Uri Blass who is also a great player.

I tried two more times with the black pieces with the same odds and got two more draws but just barely. I see no reason to keep posting draws. If I manage to win a game I'll post it. My impression is though, that with only N odds and playing black that SF almost will always find some resource that a human will not see. Although I can't really understand why a human grandmaster given at least a minute a move would not be able to win almost every game?

GM Nakamura can draw or win versus Komodo with a pawn for a knight odds, but an IM should be able to win almost always versus a Knight odds either versus Komodo, SF version 10 or Lela. Here is GM Nakamura with a pawn for a knight odds ==>

GM Nakamura is very dangerous against Komodo earlier version, but I do NOT believe that Nakamura can still do that versus the latest Komodo version ==>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clB8HMCU3Yg

I would also like to see the latest Komodo versus Master rated players with a knight odds, that would be a great promotion or advertising for Komodo to see how it does on Youtube, NOT just versus GM like Nakamura or MVL. Notice that the majority of the people buying Komodo are average people rated less than GM that are just a few or less than 1% of the players in the World.

Very interesting! I'll take a look at those links. Well I finally got a victory. I could have won sooner but I was trying too hard to checkmate SF with queens on the board.



And I guess this ends it for me because what mattered was if I could actually do it. And now that I have there is no point for me to continue. Although it was the most fun that I have had playing chess in a while. 😊

I noticed that you mentioned that trying to checkmate with the queens on the board is hard, in several games that GM Nakamura played versus Komodo on youtube I also heard him saying that trading the queens versus programs makes it much easier for him, and also trying to beat it tactically with the queens on the board it is almost impossible to beat the dragon Komodo, but by playing strategically he has a better chance specially when he is already two pawns up with odds.
