Komodo 9 is an improvement over all previous Komodo versions and supports multi-core computers and tablebases.

Komodo has won highly respected engine tournaments such as TCEC and CCT. Komodo 9 is approximately +50 elo stronger than Komodo 8 on one core according to the independent IPON test as well as our own internal testing, with the gain increasing with more cores, to about 60 elo on 4 cores based on our own tests.

Key features of Komodo 9:

- Evaluation developed by a Grandmaster

- Multi-core support (up to 64 cores)

- Syzygy endgame tablebase support

What's new in Komodo 9:

- Evaluation improvements

- better assessment of mobility/activity

- improved handling of drawish positions

- improved understanding of attacks on the king

- Improved search performance (much better time-to-depth)

- Chess 960 (Fischer Random Chess) support

- Persistent Hash: save and restore analysis

- Over 100 other improvements throughout the software

===================

If you have Windows

===================

The executables for Windows are in the /Windows subdirectory. You will find two versions:

komodo-9-64bit.exe

komodo-9-32bit.exe

We recommend using the 64-bit version as long as your version of Windows supports it.

=================

If you have Linux

=================

The binaries for Linux are in the /Linux subdirectory. You will find two versions:

komodo-9-linux : This version is optimized for present day (2105) machines

komodo-9-linux-generic : Use this version if komodo-9-linux does not work

Note that komodo-9-linux-generic computes the same moves but is slower. Both versions are 64-bit.

The program must have execute permissions to run. You can set these permissions with this command:

$ chmod +x komodo-9-linux*

====================

If you have Mac OS X

====================

The binary for Mac OS X is in the /OSX subdirectory.

komodo-9-64-osx

The file must have execute permissions to run. If you have trouble getting your chess GUI to load Komodo 9, you can try setting these permissions from the Terminal.app with this command (run from the same directory as the Komodo OS X executable):

$ chmod +x komodo-9-64-osx
