Any eta for the next version of Komodo?

Hi Lyudmil,

but good ...
Give the programmers the material ... you do that in the past (good).

So long we have ideas and material to make it better so long all is fully OK.

the forum got tired of my constant evaluation posts.

having good eval/search is a good start, but the most difficult thing is how to tune your parameters. if an engine has 2 terms, it can gain 2 elo by tuning them, if it has 5 terms, it can gain 5 elo, with 100 terms - 100 elo, with 500 - 500 elo. so, good to have more terms, but very difficult to tune.

currently I have eval at least twice better ( but not necessarily longer) than anything I have posted here in the past, and it gets improving with every new game I see, but we will see what comes out of it.

at some point, certainly though, sooner or later, I will provide the community with a refined evaluation update, unless by that time chess has been solved or SF breaks the 5000 elo mark.

Usually people who ask for new Komodo release are those who don't even want to buy the engine in the 1st place..

Actually I bought a subscription to Komodo the day I asked the question.

I did not ask but no reason to buy the engine in the 1st place because Stockfish is free.

.

I suppose it depends do you want the best engine or stockfish to be the best it can be. would you like a stockfish 3,500 elo as soon as possible. if so support the competition for the great work they do.

Shall contempt still remain at zero for optimal play vs stockfish, considering SF bypassed K10.2.

Other settings like dynamism !?
