Komodo 5

Hirviömaisen vahva Komodo 5 on juuri asennettu Mannisläppäriin. Kuten edeltäjänsä, Komodo 5:n positionaalinen "ymmärtämys" on naurettavan kovalla tasolla. Komodo-teamin johtavan shakillisen asiantuntijan GM Larry Kaufmanin mukaan pientä hienosäätöä tehdään koko ajan, Voimme vain kuvitella, kuinka vahva Komodo 30 tulee olemaan! Käytän Komodo 5:n syväanalyysejä tarkastaessani tulevan priyome-kirjan juttuja.

Kaufman totesi seuravaa Komodon TCEC superfinaalivoiton jälkeen:

"Komodo is best at evaluating middlegame positions accurately once the tactics are resolved. Stockfish seems to be best in the endgame and in seeing very deep tactics. Houdini is the best at blitz and at seeing tactics quickly. Rybka is just obsolete; I like to think of Komodo as its spiritual desceendant, since I worked on the evaluation for both, although the rest of the engines are not similar. Fritz is just too far below these top engines to be useful... Komodo’s assessment of positions is its strong point relative to the other top two, Houdini best for tactics, Stockfish for endgames and whenever great depth is required. Both Houdini and Stockfish overvalue the queen, Komodo has the best sense for relative piece values I think. Komodo is also best at playing the opening when out of book very early."

"I am deeply moved by the style of Komodo. In my opinion it's the perfect combination between computer accuracy and human positional understanding. I get the feeling it's taken positional understanding to the next level. After such an impressive performance I am going to test Komodo in my future work, especially in very positional play, and am really looking forward to working with it."

- GM Boris Avrukh

"I am extremely impressed by Komodo's play. I watched and analyzed every game and it was absolutely flawless positional chess, the likes of which has never been seen before by an engine... or human. Komodo clearly outplayed the other programs in the TCEC tournament."
