New versions of Stockfish and Komodo - when?

Post by Hagen » Sat Jun 19, 2010 6:13 pm

After seeing and reading how good these engines are I'm wondering when we can expect to see new versions for release. I'm betting the newest releases of these engines could overtake Rybka 4. So any rumors about when new versions of Stockfish and Komodo will be released?

I really doubt new versions of these engines will overtake Rybka 4 (at least not Rybka 4 with tweaked time management settings, and at least not for 6 months against that).

Larry was very ill and is now recuperating, I think this would impact Komodo development and it would get delayed.

Stockfish is currently suffering a regression (the last version being weaker than an earlier version and they're investigating why), so a new version isn't on the horizon.
