Works better than Stockfish(in android platform). Haven't checked the PC version yet.
Useless.... It only redirects to install other apps.
Very helpful app. It has enabled me to use many engines in one app
Komodo is 1 of the best engines available.
Best chess engine more powerful than stockfish
waste of data. Doesn't play
can I install it to Analyze this free version?How?
Thanks for the free engine.
Dear Komodo team, pls have the decency to offer your customers at least a discount for the updated versions, before offering what they have purchased to everyone else for free. For the avoidance of doubt: the 1☆ rating is for the way you manage your products, not for the engine itself. The engine is great. I will not purchase again from you again until you act fair.
Just wanted ask everyone to support team Komodo in the 2017 TECE Games. At time of writing Komodo is behind Stockfish in the tournament. I know Stockfish is free, but without commercial programs like Komodo, we will not have the development in chess engines, which ultimalty is bad for the sport. I have noticed that Komodo 11 has around 500 downloads only. Come on everyone please support team Komodo for the betterment of our sport. COME ON KOMODO! !!!!!
What is the best setting for komodo 9 .Stockfish 8 is the best of all. Komodo 8/9/10 is weaker than stockfish 7. Can komodo win from stockfish 8. What is the best setting for komodo 9.
Instead of providing your customers with new updates, you are making it freely available and releasing new updated engine for more money. Be sure i am not going to waste my money on any new komodo engine.
Very Aggressive engine - I like its aggressive way of game.
Fantastic chess engine. You can't judge this engine by reviews from people who are angry because they payed for it. Their reviews are not based on something being wrong with the app. Just being childish and personal.
I bought this and now you're giving it away for free. Not cool.
People are there who loves komodo chess and ur providing the commercial engine free of cost what about those who paid ..
I installed this app. It says Configure. I clicked on it. Now wht next. Pls help
I dont see other engines why.. i only see komodo 9
The Best chess engine ever!!
What's the GUI that you use for the first picture with the analysis given through description?
How I can use this
Its great...
How to bring this in use
Hate it
Finally it's free:)
How to open it
Komodo is superb. If you really want to beat SF then you must've a 64-bit device. Then, you realise howmuch K is better than SF.
The engine stops working after a few moves on Droidfish and chess for all.
