    2 ARPA FOUNDATION FOR FILM, MUSIC & ART (AFFMA) presents 23rd ANNUAL ARPA INTERNATIONAl FILM FESTIVAL powered by Seed&Spark This year marks the 23rd anniversary of Arpa International Film Festival, the signature event of the Arpa Foundation for Film, Music and Art (AFFMA), which will take place between November 12 – 22, 2020. We have an amazing and inspiring selection of 69 films from 20 countries from all over the world. In consideration of the continuing challenges and uncertainty stemming from the Covid-19 pandemic, and per the extended federal and state guidelines, The Arpa IFF, which in the past has originally taken place at historic theaters around Hollywood, will take place online this year. In the midst of our festival planning, having to relocate online created new and unexpected challenges for our team. This year, with the help of Seed&Spark, we worked very hard to make the transitional process easily accessible for our film audiences. While it was our hope to screen the films theatrically, streaming the films online will reach a greater viewership. From the comfort of your own home, people from all around the world can take part in our 23rd Annual Festival. However, another international threat has affected communities across the globe and our Festival i.e., the war between Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan. The suffering of soldiers fighting for truth, honor and justice in Artsakh leaves a deep mark, not just on our Festival, but on humanity at large. Arpa International Film Festival has decided to donate all of its proceeds from the ticket sales to aid Artsakh.

Komodo is a chess program that is dierent from the rest. Its search makes greater use of extensions than any other top engine, which allows Komodo to often see deeper than any other engine, even if it is displaying a slightly lower search depth. The evaluation diers from its main rivals because it represents a blend of both automated tuning and the judgment of grandmaster and computer expert Larry Kaufman. Fully automated evaluations are subject to rather large sample error, and applying some chess judgment appears to be benecial, both in results and in the reasonableness of reported evaluations.
