Komodo (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Komodo is a UCIchess engine developed by Don Dailey, Mark Lefler, and supported by chess author and evaluation expert, GMLarry Kaufman. Komodo is a commercial chess engine but older versions (8 and older) are free for non- commercial use. It is consistently ranked near the top of most major chess engine rating lists, along with Stockfish and Houdini. A single- processor version of Komodo (which won the CCT1. February earlier that year) was released as a stand- alone product shortly before the 5.

This version, named Komodo CCT, was still based on the older C code, and was approximately 3. Elo stronger than the 5. MP version, as the latter was still undergoing massive code- cleanup work. Its forte is to play when there is nothing to play. Komodo had its first tournament success in 2. CCT1. 5 with a score of 6. It managed to reach the Superfinal in TCEC Season 6 again, but this time, it lost to Stockfish. Komodo regained the title in TCEC Season 7, defeating Stockfish in the superfinal. In TCEC Season 8, Komodo defeated Stockfish again in the superfinal. Rxc. 6 and goes on to win the game, proving the superiority of its pieces over Black's two rooks. References. Retrieved October 2.

Indeed, there is a long tradition in chess of giving odds: the stronger player being handicapped, so the weaker player has at least the ghost of a chance. In the 1. 9th century, Paul Morphy famously played many games while giving odds. The handicaps made the matches about equal and Morphy occasionally lost, though, being the best player in the world, he often won. Perhaps the triumph of his career was a match at knight odds against James Thompson, a leading US player of the time and founder of the New York City Chess Club, which Morphy “won decisively”. Indeed, after Morphy's triumphs in Europe he would only play odds matches! Don Dailey, the late programmer of Komodo, won the 1. ACM computer chess championship giving . His program, Socrates II, later rebranded Kasparov's Gambit, ran on a dinky Intel 4. MHz (Ed: this was pre- Pentiums even) and beat Cray. Blitz which ran on a much more powerful Cray supercomputer. Don Dailey, the late programmer of Komodo, in 1. Previously, player strengths were measured not by the Elo system but, like modern- day golf, by a system ranking players according to the handicap they would need against the strongest players. Perhaps because of the use of Elo, in the modern era most chess players have forgotten the fun (and art) of making an uneven fight more balanced with the help of a handicap. But the strongest players haven't forgotten. Carlsen has given blindfold simuls, Kasparov has played clock simuls against entire national teams (and slaughtered them) and also gave two- pawn odds to FM Terry Chapman. Now Komodo, the top- rated chess engine, is playing a series of Man vs. Machine odds matches against GMs in Prague. Neuman faced Komodo with the engine giving two- pawn odds (pawns on c. The tempo was 4. 5 minutes plus 1. GM Petr Neuman. The first two games were exciting draws, including a jaw- dropping piece sacrifice in Game one: Komodo is still struggling with its initial two- pawn deficit, hence the missing pawns on c- and f- , but quickly restores balance with the superb 1. The evlauations, times and annotations are by Komodo itself as it played the game. Qg. 6+). 1/2- 1/2. Then Neuman found a plan. He set up a solid pawn structure and forced piece exchanges and went into winning endgames, tranquilizing the lizard and walking all over it – winning Games 3, 4 and 5. It was clear Neuman had found the machine's on- off switch at these odds, and he now wanted to try something more competitive! So in Game 6 Komodo gave 'just' pawn- and- move odds, removing the pawn on f. Black. It was a murderous romp. Neuman resigned after just 3. Overall Neuman easily won the match by a score of +3 / =2 / –1. The games of Komodo 9. GM Petr Neuman. . Bf. 4 (Bf. 4 Bf. 5 Nc. Bd. 6 Be. 2 Bxf. 4 exf. Nf. 6 O- O Nbd. 7. Ra. 3 O- O Rb. 3 Qc.
