Re: Dragon by Komodo Chess
Posted: Thu Nov 12, 2020 7:59 am
I gotta say, this game is an absolute positional masterpiece by Dragon with MCTS switched ON.
The way Dragon ties up the queenside, freezes the black bishop with 33.e5!! fxe5 (33...Qxe5 34.Qxb6!+-) 34.Be4! is so impressive...then swinging to the kingside once black is tied up.
It's kind of like Vladimir Kramnik on God-mode.

Decent chessplayers will admire the positional genius of this game, while computer nerds will use Stockfish to look for holes...whatever!
I have some very special engines for training games already, but Dragon is definitely going to be a serious part of my game/opening analysis in the future.
Great job Komodo team!
