Interesting indeed, I replayed b2 handicap with Contempt=0 at 5''+0.05'' and 20''+0.2'', it seems to tend to a win.Laskos wrote:Interesting, at 20''+0.2'' in 400 games the percentages are: 46% Black wins, 51% draws, 3% White wins. Performance of same 71%. If the difference is significant, this seems to mean the position tends to draw at longer TC.Laskos wrote:c2 and Contempt=0 gave at 5''+0.05'' 49% Black wins, 44% draws, 7% White wins in 400 games. Performance of 71%. Very close to what you got for b2. In hope to see whether it tends to win or draw, I will let Komodo play at 20''+0.2'' for a bit.
400 games each tc:
5''+0.05''
Black win 58%, draw 37%, White win 5%
20''+0.2''
Black win 64%, draw 34%, White win 2%
If I don't have an issue with randomization of the games, it seems the win/draw line is between c2 and b2 pawns handicap.
