Re: Any new Komodo handicap matches anytime soon?
Nothing scheduled, but I am interested in resuming. One thing I may try soon (since it's easy and cheap to do) is try to determine what level human opponent is equal at knight odds (at our standard 45' + 15" level). Based on the matches more than a year ago, we scored 25% in 12 games against opponents averaging around 2150 FIDE, so the indicated number is barely over 1950 FIDE. But I think Komodo has improved since then, even in this knight odds scenario, so I would guess 2000. I may try to find local players in the 2000 to 2200 to play such knight odds matches with Komodo. I've noticed that it has become much harder for me to score in blitz against Komodo at knight odds, but perhaps it's partly due to aging, I'll be turning 70 this year.jmartus wrote:Any new Komodo handicap matches anytime soon?
I'm always up for a handicap match (probably f7) against a top player, but I don't know of any right now who want to play such a match for the modest prizes we can offer. If any of you know of a suitable opponent please let me know.
Komodo rules!
