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.
