Nice! Thanks

Hi Rob
I suggest you use Drawscore 0, or anything else but the Default Drawscore -7, which is simply NOT recommended against Stockfish.

Hi Rob

Changes Made after game 135:

Komodo DrawScore from -7 to 0

Komodo TableMemory from 128 to 256

(Hash is still 8GB for all engines, that might be a bit high for this time control, but I am also testing the new computer, and have plenty of RAM. Enough for windows to cache 40GB of the Syzygy WDL, so there is not very much SSD activity as the tournament progresses)

Houdini contempt from 1 to 0

I doubt this will make too much difference, but there it is.

Thank you, Rob.
But don't change the Table Memory to 256...bad for your Time Control.
Komodo may still lose overall, but not as badly as before.
Watch.

TableMemory back at 128.

Just to be clear to any who wonder, I am not biased. Just want to see all the engines perform as good as they can, and welcome suggestions. This is not a rigorous test!

Hi Rob, it for sure doesnt make any difference
Look for example at these tests, 400 games with Komodo1339 at drawscore 0 and 400 games with default -7 made in december by Ray Banks
With drawscore 0 Komodo scored 47,25 % and with drawscore -7 (default) just even higher 47,75%
