If I set it to a higher value people will say: "Oh, you won because contempt was too high and because of that stockfish played too weak."
If programmers thought 24 is the best balance, it should be the best balance. They designed it to win not to draw or to lose.
Well, I will read more forums about this, and I will think more about it. I also would like to see more action in the games.









24 value is the default setting for winning the strongest chess engines in the world. I don't think is too low.
