How can complaints be made before the game starts? The settings are not visible until the game starts.Nay Lin Tun wrote:Yes of course, complaints always come from the losers not from the winners.If the organisers would like to blame the wrong settings, that settings must be in public before the game start! Who knows K team would like to try with the new setting that was used in the previous game and only when the game was dead lost, the drama started. A couple of things come to my mindshrapnel wrote:Also, the complaint was made 4 to 5 hours into the game. Complaint should have been dismissed. It should have been made earlier.
I'm sure nothing would have been said if Komodo was actually winning !
The Conspiracy theorists just got a big boost !
1. Complaints should be done before the game start and should be invalid when the game has decisive outcome
2. No transparency in private setting
3. The setting were not obviously wrong as a general sense{eg,people can sense as a wrong setting if only 1 core was used instead of 20}
4.No one knows whether the other engine authors might complaints due to the wrong setting or other reason and whether those complaints were refused.
5. The replay rule was already announced before the game but it was supposed to be an obvious bug , and Komodo did not play as a bug game.(there was intense fight in the whole game until one side got advantage)
P.S-->there was a public poll by someone whether the game should be replayed or not, and most spectators voted as no.

I did not know Komodo was playing in the first game. I was at a Movie at 3 pm European Time when the game started. After the game, I ate, came back to the hotel, and called Larry a few times, did some compiles. I did not check TCEC until all that was done.
When I did check TCEC, I saw Komodo's score was for white a bit over 1. I checked the settings by right clicking the gear and immediately so no Contempt = 7 setting, and that Dynamism was set to 110 instead of the default 115 for Komodo 10.1
I emailed Anton, Martin and Larry to tell them about the wrong settings. Anton answered as follows (my email under Anton's reply):

Dear Mark,
I am CC-ing Martin, this must be replayed if what you say was not set.

Martin and Anton,
I looked at the TCEC settings for Komodo and they look wrong. We asked that Contempt be set to 7, and it is not mentioned (so I assume it defaults to 10). And the Komodo 10.1 setting for Dynamism is 115, not 110.
Can you please fix them?
Mark

I never asked for the game to be replayed. Anton knew immediately is should be due to the settings errors.
The Komodo team had nothing to do with the wrong settings. We did not switch any programs
Taking a poll serves no purpose. TCEC has rule and plays fair. I respect them for that.
