Komodo vs Bolzoni, 6th (and last) game Broadcast

[Vinvin]

Victor did great. And thank you Vincent for running this very memorable match.

Time consuming but very interesting play by Victor !
Mark, I feel Komodo played more passive than last week, is it because of the eval of the new Komodo or is it because Victor played more for the initiative ?

Komodo should seek for more complicated and tactical position, but may be ask something impossible ...

After this day, I think a more reasonable handicap would have been a knight for the f pawn.

[Jesse Gersenson]

What was contempt set at this week and last week?

I noticed that Komodo played passively against me (giving rook odds) if contempt was set too high.

[Jhoravi]

Is the contempt to avoid exchanges really working here? It seems that it is Komodo who initiate exchanges in many positions. And why in game 6 move 13, Komodo traded by Bxh3 instead of Bh1?

[lkaufman]

I do not understand the move 14.Bxh3

It seems that komodo plays even below master level because I believe that every master is going to play 14.Bh1 or 14.Bf3 to avoid trading bishops.

I thought that there may be some hidden deep tactics that force Bxh3 but I do not find it.

Stockfish see no win after 14.Bf3 and the scores at depth 32 is clearly lower than the score at depths 1-10 and only 0.05 pawn better than the minimal score that it got.

The reason for the bishop trade is not hard to discern: Komodo loves the bishop pair, and will normally trade bishops when it has one and the opponent has two. Komodo's incentive to avoid even exchanges in this match is not large enough to overcome the nearly half a pawn gained by killing the enemy bishop pair. I'm rather surprised that Stockfish doesn't also want to trade for the same reason; probably Stockfish has higher concerns for the White King safety here than Komodo does, and probably on this issue Komodo is correct in this position. Perhaps I would avoid the exchange as White here due to being a piece down, but I'm not sure which choice is really better.

[lkaufman]

What was contempt set at this week and last week?

I noticed that Komodo played passively against me (giving rook odds) if contempt was set too high.

Yes, for this reason Contempt was reduced from 150 last weekend to 100 this weekend. I think one reason Komodo did worse this time and seemed more passive is simply that I used the best opening moves the first weekend, and had to resort to three inferior opening moves this time to avoid repeat openings. I suppose if the only goal was to win I would have repeated 1d4 and perhaps 1Nf3 (which are likely to transpose), but getting variety for the spectators and avoiding possible preparation were also considerations. I'm not yet sure how we'll deal with this issue in the next (two pawn handicap) match.

[lkaufman]

Why Komodo will not take the pawn in a4? Seems to me there is something wrong with contempt.
[d]R7/5p2/5k2/6b1/p1KP4/7P/1r6/8 w - - 0 56

I don't think it has to do with contempt. Much more likely is that it has to do with EGTB. Maybe we shouldn't even use them in these handicap matches, or at least not until the tablebase position is on the board. If we're winning we will probably win anyway against a much weaker opponent without playing perfectly, while if we are losing we should not worry about playing theoretically best moves. I'll have to check into this.

[Uri Blass]

I do not understand the move 14.Bxh3

It seems that komodo plays even below master level because I believe that every master is going to play 14.Bh1 or 14.Bf3 to avoid trading bishops.

I thought that there may be some hidden deep tactics that force Bxh3 but I do not find it.

Stockfish see no win after 14.Bf3 and the scores at depth 32 is clearly lower than the score at depths 1-10 and only 0.05 pawn better than the minimal score that it got.

The reason for the bishop trade is not hard to discern: Komodo loves the bishop pair, and will normally trade bishops when it has one and the opponent has two. Komodo's incentive to avoid even exchanges in this match is not large enough to overcome the nearly half a pawn gained by killing the enemy bishop pair. I'm rather surprised that Stockfish doesn't also want to trade for the same reason; probably Stockfish has higher concerns for the White King safety here than Komodo does, and probably on this issue Komodo is correct in this position. Perhaps I would avoid the exchange as White here due to being a piece down, but I'm not sure which choice is really better.

Stockfish does not avoid exchange and my point was only that stockfish does not see tactics after Bf3 or Bh1 so there was no deep tactical reason to avoid trading bishops.

Victor did great. And thank you Vincent for running this very memorable match.

Time consuming but very interesting play by Victor !
Mark, I feel Komodo played more passive than last week, is it because of the eval of the new Komodo or is it because Victor played more for the initiative ?

Komodo should seek for more complicated and tactical position, but may be ask something impossible ...

After this day, I think a more reasonable handicap would have been a knight for the f pawn.

If Victor also got the white pieces that might be about right; with the Black pieces and f7 missing it would be too difficult for him I'm sure, as the missing f7 pawn forces Black to make serious opening concessions. Or with Victor playing Black, maybe knight for the "c" pawn which is a much smaller problem for Black than the missing "f" pawn. Or perhaps alternating colors with knight for "c" pawn. Comments, anyone?

In my eyes, the 2nd day of match showed that Victor controled Komodo quite easily with the knight advantage. In the 2 first games, the evaluation rose from the beginning until the end. In the 3rd game, the blundered pawn make the things less easy, that probably because of the weariness, 7 hours of play in one day is too much to play against such a monster.

If the Komodo team agrees, I can propose a rematch to Victor :
4 games, a Knight for a pawn, alternate colour, Victor play with the c2, c7, f2 and finally f7 pawn removed.
But only 2 games a day, time control 60 min + 15 sec.

This conditions seems more balanced to me.

Another idea is to play human + komodo without a knight vs human. The human point of view can be interesting to find complications than he will know that can't be well handled by the sole human.
