Komodo 11 Chess Engine

The Komodo 11 chess engine for ChessBase- and OpenExchange-compliant chess GUIs.

Komodo 11 is the latest release of this prize-winning chess engine. Komodo 11 is an improvement over all previous Komodo versions and supports multi-core processors (32- and 64-bit) and endgame tablebases.

BEFORE YOU PURCHASE: NOTE THAT KOMODO 11 FOR ANDROID REQUIRES A CHESS GUI (for recommendations, see below).

THIS INSTALLER PROVIDES THE KOMODO ENGINE IN CHESSBASE & OPEN EXCHANGE FORMAT ONLY.

AFTER PURCHASING: Verify your license by running the installed app once before using Komodo.

Komodo has won many highly respected engine tournaments such as TCEC, CCT, and the World championship, the World Blitz and the World Rapid championships. After more than 33,600 games, Komodo 11.01 is about 10 elo stronger than Komodo 10.4, our last release, based on our own single-thread testing at two minutes plus one second increment. Komodo 11.01 is roughly 55 Elo stronger than Komodo 10 on one or four cores; this is based on an average gain of 45 Elo points on six major rating lists (using longest time control with relevant data) for version 10.4 over 10.0 plus the estimated ten additional elo points for Komodo 11.01. On four threads 11.01 leads 10.4 by ten elo after 3000 games at one minute plus half second, so 11.01 should also be about 55 elo stronger than Komodo 10 on four threads or more.
