a chess engine by primary author Don Dailey (died at the age of 57 on November 22, 2013) and since October 2013, by Mark Lefler, supported by chess advisor and evaluation expert and Don's long time collaborator Larry Kaufman. In July 2016, Komodo 10.x won the Shannon Trophy.

Komodo appeared in January 2010 derived from Don's former engine Doch. It uses bitboards as internal board representation, and has a sophisticated search and a knowledge based, balanced evaluation. Komodo is a standalone chess engine supporting the UCI protocol and is available for multiple platforms and [|operating systems], and is therefore compatible with free and commercial UCI compliant chess graphical user interfaces and database front ends.

As of December 2011, Komodo became commercial with version **4**, earlier versions running under Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Android are available from the Komodo download site, free for non-commercial use. Next release date was May 2013, with CCT15 winner Komodo **CCT**. toc =Further Versions=

Komodo 5
Komodo **5.1 MP**, released in June 2013, was a major rewrite in C++11, able to perform a parallel search to run on multiple processors. 

Komodo 6
In October 2013, Don Dailey announced the release of Komodo **6** and also bad news concerning the future status of Komodo due to his fatal illness of a acute form of [|Leukemia]. He introduced Mark Lefler as new member of the Komodo team. Don Dailey died November 22, 2013 at age 57, just about the same time that Komodo pulled ahead of Stockfish by winning game 2 in the TCEC Season 5 final. 

Komodo TCEC and 7
As winner of the TCEC 5 final, Komodo **TCEC** was released on December 04, 2013, the further improved Komodo **7** on May 21, 2014, during the TCEC Season 6 final versus Stockfish again, now supporting Syzygy Bases , probing code interface implementation by Jeremy Bernstein. 

Komodo 8
Komodo **8**, released on September 05, 2014, is a substantial improvement over Komodo 7a, which was already rated among the top three chess engines on almost all rating lists. Komodo 8 supports Syzygy Bases and is available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Android, the latter immediately available for import in Chess for Android and in Chess for Glass. Since mid September 2014, Komodo 8 for Windows is available as ChessBase engine, bundled with the Deep Fritz interface, Syzygy bases not included. 

Komodo 9
Komodo **9**, released on April 28, 2015, continues the progress with approximately +50 Elo over Komodo 8 due to improved search, evaluation, and time management, as well as more efficient use of multiprocessing. Most noticeable is the increase in search depth reached in a given amount of time, which is due to better extension, reduction, and pruning rules. Further, Komodo 9 now features Chess960 and a persistant hash to save and restore analysis. 

Komodo 10
On May 23, 2016, Komodo **10** came with revised and improved king safety, pawn storm and passed pawn evaluation, as well with revised LMR, NMP, IID and history heuristic concerning search, and is about 60 Elo stronger than Komodo 9. In July 2016, **Komodo 10.x** won the Shannon Trophy. 

Komodo 11
On May 23, 2017, Komodo **11.01** was released, which corrected some minor issues of Komodo 11, which was already released by ChessBase a few days before. It is estimated about 55 Elo stronger than Komodo 10 at intermediate time controls, gains related to evaluation, revised quiescence search, singular extensions, LMR , and parallel search. Komodo **11.2**, released on July 17, 2017, was the version which won the WCCC 2017. Komodo **11.3** was released on March 04, 2018 with subsequent improvements. It also comes with a BMI2 compile for compatible x86-64 processors - so far not recommend for AMD [|Ryzen] due to its slow PEXT implementation.

=Tournament Play= Komodo played the ICT 2010 in [|Leiden] over the board, and further the CCT12 and CCT14.

CCT 15/16 and TCEC 5-7
Komodo had its first tournament success in 2013, when it won the CCT15 with 6½/7, and later that year the TCEC Season 5 after qualifying for the Superfinal and 48 thrilling games versus Stockfish by a margin of 25 - 23. In 2014, Komodo won the CCT16 with 5½/6. In May 2014, at TCEC Season 6, Komodo **7** qualified for the Superfinal - again versus Stockfish - both engines further improved and supporting Syzygy Bases. This time, Stockfish won the 64 game match 35½ - 28½. Again, the other way around at TCEC Season 7 - Superfinal in December 2014 - version 8 successor Komodo 1333 won from Stockfish 141214 with 33½ - 30½.

WCCC / WCSC / WCRCC 2015
At the WCCC 2015 in [|Leiden], Komodo 9.x won the Blitz tournament, and became runner-up behind and losing from the massively parallel and distributed Jonny which played on a cluster of 100x24 cores. After the revenge winning against Jonny at the equal hardware WCSC 2015 a few days later, Komodo was unlucky and made too many draws against apparently weaker opponents, to became third behind Shredder and Ginkgo. Two weeks later, Komodo won the WCRCC 2015 convincingly with 9/9!

TCEC Season 8
In Fall 2015, Komodo 9.3x dominated the TCEC Season 8 and won the Superfinal again versus Stockfish, this time 100 games with +9, =89, -2, that is 53½ - 46½. 

WCCC / WCSC / WCRCC 2016
The 2016 ICGA tournaments in [|Leiden] were a huge success for **Komodo 10.x**, which did not only won the Shannon Trophy in the open hardware World Computer Chess Championship after a nerve-racking six games play-off versus defending champion Jonny - Komodo with 48 threads on 60 core Intel i7 versus Jonny's cluster of 100x24 AMD cores, but aso the equal hardware World Chess Software Championship with 5/6 - 1½ points ahead of runner-up Jonny and Shredder. Two weeks later Komodo defended its ACCA title in rapid chess at the WCRCC 2016 with 14 wins and one draw versus runner-up Andscacs, that is 14½ out of 15.

WCCC / WCSC / WCRCC 2017
In 2017, Komodo could defend it titles at the WCRCC 2017 online, and the soon later released Komodo 11.2 the ICGA WCCC 2017 over the board, again in a  play-off versus Jonny. Komodo further became runner-up at the uniform hardware WCSC 2017 behind Shredder.
