Komodo Elo = 3496 vs Berserk-9-dev after 20 games so far

[Chessqueen]

So far I have run Komodo Elo = 3496 vs Berserk-9-dev and after 20 games the score is dead even at T/C 15/10, I am NOT implying that Berserk at this time control is rated 3496, but since it takes the full time control to make all of its moves while Komodo Dragon 2.6.1 Elo = 3496 play instantly is leveling out the score so far. I will continue this match up to 100 games to get an idea, NOT to determine the strength of Berserk -9-dev, it could be that the real rating at T/C 15/10 lie between 3485 to 3490 after CCRL test it against different engines

I decided to stop the match at 50 games since the score is so close 26 to 24 in favor of Berserk -9-dev against Komodo Dragon Elo = 3496 at T/C 15/10. Now for anybody believing that those are too few games are welcome to continue watching game after game after game being ending in draws

So far I have run Komodo Elo = 3496 vs Berserk-9-dev and after 20 games the score is dead even at T/C 15/10, I am NOT implying that Berserk at this time control is rated 3496, but since it takes the full time control to make all of its moves while Komodo Dragon 2.6.1 Elo = 3496 play instantly is leveling out the score so far. I will continue this match up to 100 games to get an idea, NOT to determine the strength of Berserk -9-dev, it could be that the real rating at T/C 15/10 lie between 3485 to 3490 after CCRL test it against different engines

If Komodo Dragon 2.6.1 is moving instantly with Elo set to 3496, something is terribly wrong, and if it is holding a strong engine like Berserk 9 roughly even without having to think that is totally amazing. I can't offer any explanation for either of these two issues, and since we are already on Dragon 3 we would only be concerned if the issue is still present in Dragon 3. Maybe I'll test than myself. If I had to guess, I would suspect that any setting above 3400 but below 3500 just doesn't work properly, perhaps it just reverts to 3400 or even 3300 for example. A setting of 3496 is supposed to be almost the same as just using one thread at full strength, where I would expect it to beat Berserk 9 quite convincingly, but not without taking a similar amount of time.

So far I have run Komodo Elo = 3496 vs Berserk-9-dev and after 20 games the score is dead even at T/C 15/10, I am NOT implying that Berserk at this time control is rated 3496, but since it takes the full time control to make all of its moves while Komodo Dragon 2.6.1 Elo = 3496 play instantly is leveling out the score so far. I will continue this match up to 100 games to get an idea, NOT to determine the strength of Berserk -9-dev, it could be that the real rating at T/C 15/10 lie between 3485 to 3490 after CCRL test it against different engines

OK, I checked out Dragon 3 a bit on this issue, and the behavior is the same as in 2.6.1. It seems that everything works properly as long as Elo is set to a value from 1 to 3400, but 3400 is the highest value that is allowed for limited strength. So if you set it to 3500 it just reverts to full strength Dragon (as we say), but if you set it to 3401 to 3499 it just disregards the last two digits. So all the tests you have run with Elo 3490 or 3496 or anything else starting with 34 have actually been with Elo 3400. That explains the "instant" (more like one second) moves. So apparently Dragon 2.6.1 playing bullet chess (like 1 second per move) on one thread with no Ponder can score nearly even with Berserk 9 playing Rapid! That is quite surprising to me, but I see on the CCRL blitz list that Dragon 2.6 on one thread is rated about 20 elo above Berserk 8.5 on 8 threads, so perhaps it is true.

Are you going to fix Dragon for the next version, where if you set it from 3401 to 3499 indeed it will play better than just setting it to 3400 Now I will run another test match of 50 games Dragon Elo = 3401 vs Berserk-9-dev to compare it to the first match of 50 games where I set the Elo of Dragon 2.6.1 to 3496

I just started another 100 games Berserk vs Komodo Dragon full strength, With Berserk contempt = 16 ( Not the default contempt =12 ). I decided to use this opening, https://fauziakram.gumroad.com/l/fzabk, but I limit it to only 8 moves, to let both engines play a little during the middlegame, because if I let this huge opening plus a 6 pieces EGTB, both engines will only make a few moves in the middlegame and in my opinion this is NOT really testing engines Chess Knowledge.
