Thank you for explaining how you won games from Komodo by replaying games and correcting errors. But normally on four threads Komodo will vary by the third or fourth (nonbook) move; how did you get it to repeat long sequences? Did you just start new games from positions where you made a mistake?Chessqueen wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 1:06 amChessqueen wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 11:58 pm Uri is correct the more pieced you take the less you can blunder, he will never rate our latest games and will continue bringing the same old position back again as his argument, this guy is like Trump he will never admit to lose an argument. I will admit that each one of those 5 games that I played I replayed them some 6 times or 7 times until I figured out how to beat Komodo, and made several notes of how I blundered and corrected my blunders in the final games then I saved those games and finally posted those 5 games, but for these last games which clearly I have a great advantage I played them only once and beat Komodo fair and square. So for the record I did what some people would probably do to show their best game against Komodo if they would have agreed to pay $100 or even $50.00 per game. Now that you know why and how I played so precise the true is revealed, but I had a purpose and it was to show ways how people could have won by playing over and over again the same positions, but not this simple and easy position which I am clearly winning nor the Rook Odds when I gave it one of my pawn, Now that my purpose was shown and known to everybody here, lets continue the handicap experiment but with one correction at the moment that a person agrees to play a setup position he or she must accept it from probably 8 positions given at the moment and the game should be played on chess.com. If GM Nakamura is given the exact last four positions that he lost the 2nd day, he will at least draw them all

Second question: What is the smallest handicap at which you have beaten Komodo on four threads running properly on a good GUI with no takebacks, on your first try at that handicap?
Third question: Were you playing normal or MCTS Komodo? I note that 2.h3 above looks like an MCTS move, it's hard to believe normal K would make that silly move at any handicap. MCTS doesn't play well much beyond rook handicap.
