Quoting Darren Cook <[email protected]>:
And I think Magnus (Valkyria) got a similar result (though not sure if that was just in handicap games).
I got a more greedy form of dynamic komi. In even games against very weak players it plays aggressively until it has captured all stones (given the opponent play that weak). I have tested this on even games only in self play and it does not seems to change anything. But I like the style of play from handicap games and that is enough reason to use it even if I have no evidence of it playing better.
The hard part of dynamic komi is that small changes to the komi has a large effect of the evaluation in the late endgame. With linear komi search is much more robust but the games do not get as much drama.
