Komodo 5 release now available!
http://komodochess.com/


Komodo 5 has just been released. At the moment only the SP version is
available but we have a prototype of the MP version that we are
working hard to get ready.

Please note that the 32 bit versions are not yet avaiable - but will
be available within the next couple of days. The web site is not very
clear on that point and our webmaster is on a long sabbitical.

Also please note that there will not be a Komodo 4.1 release. However
to fullfill our promise of Komodo 4 MP, you will be able to get both
Komodo 5 SP and MP for the same price you would have payed to get
Komodo 4 MP. Simply puchase Komodo 5 SP for the discounted price and
you will be able to obtain Komodo 5 MP for free when it's available.



Komodo 5 has many improvements and bug fixes over Komodo 4 and will
play a much stronger game.

- automatic SSE4.2 detection
- several evaluation improvements
- time control improvements
- search is better
- multipv implemention improved
- Hash table utilization better
- many others

Thank you!
Now the question is whether Komodo can beat houdini. Difficult to stop. The old thief Houdart choose the best material he had to steal (Robbolito, Stockfish, Ivanhoe, Ippolit, etc.).

Not yet, but for those of us using engines for purposes other than engine-engine games, Komodo 5 is an exciting release. For analyzing OTB games, Komodo is fantastic.

Now if only the HIARCS guys would reach a reasonable stopping point and finally release, for crying out loud, it will be a fun analysis summer.
