That would end with all the complains and the "lucky factor". You know exactly what you'll get, fair for everyone.Ovyron wrote:What about making it "number of releases" instead of time period?

Re: Komodo updates Sub
This seems ridiculous that could go either way 1 release a year over 4 years for eg, or 4 releases in 6 months unlikely but with a time frame you know you get min 3 or a part refund as per contract.What about making it "number of releases" instead of time period?

All that does is takes the pressure of K team delivering to a time scale that been the case it would not be of interest to myself.[/quote]

It would be an added option, people happy with the current model would still be able to make use of it.Hurnavich wrote:This seems ridiculous that could go either way 1 release a year over 4 years for eg, or 4 releases in 6 months unlikely but with a time frame you know you get min 3 or a part refund as per contract.What about making it "number of releases" instead of time period?

Re: Komodo updates Sub
Maybe a silly question but during the last TCEC event I think Komodo was updated (or changed) a couple of times I think, could not one have been put out for the people who had sub's

Mark acknowledged that K11.2.2 contempt value of 0 is not optimal against SF Dev anymore. I'm using -5 until new version release.
Mark confirmed that K is able to squeeze out more draws against SF Dev with slight negative value.
Considering it's 7 months since last release.

Re: Komodo updates Sub
By the way Chess960 with material odds should be tried out. Maybe human opponent need more odds because of unfamiliarity / unaccustomed.
