  • katrain training question

    From Jens-Olaf Lindermann@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 17 18:02:31 2022
    Hello everyone,

    I (advanced beginner) am training with katrain/katago engine and have a question about training with the software.

    In the moment training is with a calibrated rank of 15k and a handicap
    of 9 and I am winning quite easily. Therefore I want to train on a
    higher difficulty level. My question: Is it better to reduce the
    handicap or to raise the kyu rank of the engine?

    Hope, one can help me.

    It is better to raise the kyu rank of the engine. Computer engines are
    are making strange decicions, when they are downranked. You are learning
    more against strong opponents anyway.

    I have experienced this strange behaviour! Thank you for your answer,
    Bernhard.
