That is true IM Andras is too familiar with Closed Sicilian since I checked all his previous games on chess.com and he played it a lot all his moves up to move 9. 0-0 0-0 were rock solid which he made instantly and I just let these two engines to finished it, here is the resultlkaufman wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 10:26 pmI think that he won game four primarily because he was familiar with how to play the Closed Sicilian as Black, so he didn't have to think much in the opening. He was probably much less familiar with how to play against 1.f4. In our blitz games with GM Alex Lenderman, Dragon won every game in which it played 1.f4, so that's how I knew it was a good choice against Andras. We had a lot more trouble in the games with g1 knight missing. 1.e4 is then a good move (1.f4 is silly without Nf3 option), but it's too normal for the human to play against.Chessqueen wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 7:54 pmI wrote the word mere in comparison to what Mr. Kaufman used against IM Andras which is probably 7 or 12 times faster, but of course I used the entire 15'+10' whereas, Komodo Dragon2 MCTS used half of the time.Cornfed wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 7:42 pm"mere"...the thing that drives the chess engine should not matter of course...the engine 'should speak for itself'.Chessqueen wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 5:57 pm
Even Komodo 13.3 using my mere intel i7 3.40 GHz could have won this game without the queen slip versus an engine that is close in strength to IM Andras Toth Dragon 4.6
So, your results really should be every bit as legit as someone's Threadripper.
Note: What Komodo Dragon2 just accomplished by beating an IM at standard Rapid time control, I thought that was not going to be possible until the next version of Komodo Dragon3, I know that the opening helped a lot and in most of the 1. f4 opening IM Andras was not too comfortable since the engine usually got a very attacking position where the extra Knight of Mr. Andras did not matter too much. I am hoping that the next version of Komodo Dragon3 it could probably give GM Nakamura a Knight Odds in TC of 10'+5" since for his level to expect Komodo Dragon3 to beat GM Nakamura at 15'+ 10" would be too much. Probably Mr. Kaufman can explain how IM Andras managed to beat Komodo Dragon2 today, was it because of a bad opening choice ? I am still trying to go over the first game and find out, but do not fully understand how IM Andras positionally squeeze the win
