Don and Larry need to purchase a home in Riviera and will release a version of Komodo every month to get money. I warned.

If they can produce 25 Elo improvement every month, I suspect that plenty of people would be willing to support them, too!

Those guys aren't greedy, they just want to get paid (and modestly, at that) for their work. I'm not really sure what your problem with them is.

Jeremy is correct. we would like to have a new komodo every month. Komodo is developing so fast. It won the stage 2 of TCEC. and still leading in stage 3.

As we see, Komodo 6 has a very high increase in Elo compare to the previous version 5.

I guess people here wouldn't even mind buying their development version

The latest programs that I would buy Stockfish with Syzy suport, criter 0.90, Chiron and Ivanhoe PP
These programs always add something. The rest is more of the same.

I warned. It seems that Larry will launch a version of Komodo every 30 days to make more money. Pity the buyers Komodo. Larry seems worse than Houdart.

What's wrong with making money? People can skip a version if they don't think it's worth it.

...and it's out: http://komodochess.com/KomodoTCEC-35a.htm. Congrats to Don (wherever he is), Larry and Mark for their first joint release, and for their successful TCEC run.
