Changes

Komodo '''14''', released in May 2020 with following improvements announced by [[Larry Kaufman]] <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=73916 Komodo 14 released] by [[Larry Kaufman]], [[CCC]], May 12, 2020</ref>:

The improvements cover a wide range of issues, including [[Extensions|extensions]], [[Null Move Pruning|null move]], [[King Safety]], [[Time Management|time management]], and many more. There is one new feature added since Komodo 13.3, "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_chess#Armageddon Armageddon]" mode, which tells Komodo that White (or Black) must win, draws are scored as losses for that color. When draws are counted as losses for White, knowing this improves Komodo's performance as White by about 30 elo according to our tests. In Armageddon mode, the specified color (usually White) not only avoids clear draws, but adjusts [[Contempt Factor|Contempt]] by an amount we determined was most helpful for Armageddon play. Testing on one thread in Armageddon mode suggests that on a modern laptop, if White gets one minute total plus 1% increment, and Black gets half a minute plus 1% increment plus draw odds, then chances are fairly close to balanced. Other features added since Komodo 13 include more levels, Personalities, and Auto-Skill. Standard mode remains the strongest when [[Principal Variation#MultiPV|Multi-PV]] is not in use, while [[Monte-Carlo Tree Search|MCTS]] mode is generally strongest when both are using Multi-PV.
