Komodo is a chess program that is different from the rest. Its search makes greater use of extensions than any other top engine, which allows it to often see deeper than any other engine, even if it is displaying a slightly lower search depth. It is very useful for opening analysis, because its grandmaster programmer has always made sure that the program's evaluations agree in general with accepted theory. Komodo also excels in the evaluation of positions with material imbalance, which it handles more correctly than other top engines. The endgame of Komodo has been improved by the use of Syzygy tablebases*, which provide only the most essential information to save time and memory. Another unique feature of Komodo is its superior performance when using eight or more cores. There is little doubt that Komodo 8 will be the top rated commercial chess engine on most rating lists. • Komodo 8 engine can support up to 64 processor cores and 16 GB of hash memory • The new Deep Fritz 64-bit program interface (+ 32 bit program interface) • Online access to the world's largest analysis database "Let's Check", with over 200 million extensively analyzed positions** • Access to ChessBase engine cloud • Premium membership to Playchess.com (6 months) • Database with over 1.5 million games, etc. *Syzygy tablebases not included **Access to "Let's Check" until December 31, 2016 System requirements: Minimum: Pentium III 1 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Windows Vista, XP (Service Pack 3), 7/8, DirectX9, 256 MB graphics card, DVD-ROM drive, Windows Media Player 9 and Internet access for program activation, access to Playchess.com, Let's Check and program updates.
