This is strange because the blunder 16. Rxh6?? makes no sense, I can't replicate it at any time or depth with K14.1 (I don't have 13.3 on my laptop). Were you perhaps using MCTS? I think MCTS just falls apart completely when down a huge amount like this. I would only use MCTS for handicap play if the handicap is not more than a rook, if the time control is Rapid rather than blitz, and if the number of threads is at least four.
You might investigate how the rating was forced that low? Doesn't take a whole lot of randomnesss to introduce a gross blunder when the randomness is given a high probability to produce really low ratings.

I think you misunderstand something here. White is full strength Komodo giving queen odds; Black is a human. There is no forced low rating or randomness involved. The explanation turned out to be that Komodo was in MCTS mode, which works fine when down a piece or so, but when down a queen or more it is apt to make crazy sacrifices on the theory that one chance in a million is better than none at all!
Komodo rules!

I believe that I found Stockfish match when giving a Knight Odds, it is around 2150 to 2160 since this engine Knockout is rated 2153 by CCRL, another observation is that the latest Stockfish is not bad at giving Knight Odds it is doing very good holding Expert programs, just like Komodo Dragon2, remember I am only using a mere intel i7 3.40 GHz with 4 cores not the same system that you use when giving Knight odds to GM rated between 2550 to 2600. I know a friend from the Dom. Republic who is rated 2188 by FIDE he agreed to play vs Dragon2 at Knight Odds using Skype TC 30'+10", But I will need to get the Knight Odds opening for Dragon2, where I can download the Knight Odds Opening ? :roll:

MCTS and multi-thread is not helpful for giving knight odds or more to engines, only to humans. At 10' + 5", using just ONE THREAD on my laptop, Dragon 2 (Contempt 100) performed at CCRL Rapid 2650 in 600 games here giving knight odds to strong engines (Rybka 1, Fruit 2.2.1, and Benjamin 1.0). It might drop a bit to 2600 at 15' + 10". Try it yourself against engines near 2600 CCRL Rapid using just one thread, no MCTS, Contempt 100. Hardware makes no difference at all for this, in fact faster hardware will probably hurt (in standard mode). I don't yet know how single thread no MCTS will do vs. humans, probably pretty well I think. The opening book is private, it's hard enough to give knight odds to GMs without giving them the book as well (I did give the book to David Smerdon, but it was much more primitive at that time). After all they don't send me their opening preparation!

I do not understand why do you use stockfish14 that has no comtempt option.

Older stockfish with contempt was stronger with odds.

You are correct I wasted my time, since Stockfish does not have the contempt option, but Mr. Kaufman made a good point which at first did not made any sense to me which is using 1 thread instead of 4 or 8 thread versus other engines and NOT using MCTS (Contempt 100) Dragon2 giving Knight Odds or Rook odds play much stronger than using MCTS with Multi threads. My question is what happen to the extra cores? I thought that they help Dragon2 but it seems as if it get involved in too many unnecessary calculation that are not processed correctly with the MCTS. Here is another game where Dragons simply destroy this 2598 engines at Knight Odds. http://ccrl.chessdom.com/ccrl/404/cgi/e ... 0_7_64-bit My Dominican Friend just told me that he is not interested in playing Knight Odds versus such strong engine. I guess he did some research and saw some of the games of Dragon2 vs GM Smerdon :roll: :mrgreen: :roll:

That is a very nice game! So it looks like my 2600 CCRL estimate for Dragon 2 giving knight odds at 15' + 10" was at least in the ballpark. I think that the reason one thread is enough is that once you outsearch your opponent by something like ten plies, searching even deeper will just lead you to avoid things that the opponent would be unlikely to find in any case. Large handicaps test the strength of the odds-receiver, not the strength of the odds-giver. Knight odds seems to be near the dividing line between "large" and "small" handicaps in this sense. By the way, GM Smerdon never played Dragon, it didn't exist in May 2020; perhaps you meant GM Wirig.

I don't know what Sargon from 1978 was rated at it but Komodo was able to beat it without a Queen.
Sorry I couldn't get the pgn to work correctly. All you have to do is place this bracket with pgn on beginning of the first line. Therefore, Sargon 1978 must be less than 1600 to lose to Dragon Queen Odds, it is strange that Sargon walked inside of Dragon territory Naked. Not even a 1100 rated human would do that. After the check with f5 to Black King it should have never walked into enemy territory without its army nearby to protect him, it should have retreated back into safety close to his army or soldiers, for example to Kg7 then Kf8, then Ke8 followed by Bishop to Bf8 looking for his army protection :roll:

Re: Can Komodo give a Queen to a 1500 chess Engine on CCRL?

Not even a 1100 rated human would do that. After the check with f5 to Black King it should have never walked into enemy territory without its army nearby to protect him, it should have retreated back into safety close to his army or soldiers, for example to Kg7 then Kf8, then Ke8 followed by Queen to d6 looking for his army protection. This is how the game should have continue after my suggestion of retreating the Black King into safety surrounded by his army. :roll:
