Mr. Kaufman why Komodo is NOT set to resigned in a Hopeless situation like in games 7 and 8

The chess.com software used to decide resignations/draw offers is not under our control, we would have to get special programming done by chess.com for that and we're not interested in spending resources on that. A lot of viewers on chess.com are very weak players, and playing to mate is probably what they want or need anyway. We do have control over the earliest move number to offer or accept a draw, it was set to move 75 for this match.

So we won the match by 5 to 4 with the agreed Armageddon scoring, but he won by 6 to 3 by conventional scoring (and won a prize for that). It was pretty much as I figured, that Dragon would almost always be fighting for draws, but would get enough of them to win with Armageddon scoring. Beating an active GM at Rapid at knight odds by normal scoring is still a goal for the future. The match did strongly suggest that g1 knight odds is easier to give than b1 knight odds, as I've said in the past. We were even with conventional scoring in the five g1 odds games, but lost badly (1/2 to 3 1/2) in the four b1 odds games. The reason is simple: 1.e4 is only playable with a knight on b1 to attack the queen after 1..d5 2.exd5 Qxd5. Other moves just don't set enough problems.

In the future do Not offer to play with the b1 Knight odds, instead offer to play with the Black side but at 10"+5 ( 2 games with the b8 Knight odds and 2 games with the g8 Knight odds only when playing with Black), but at 15"+10' when playing 4 games with the g1 Knight odds . Probably in 6 months you should try against another 2500 rated player from India where there are 100,000 of chess player fans, or the 12 years old youngest GM prodigy in history could be a potential target.
