Komodo Dragon is the World Champion Computer Chess 2022

Five participants. Though games between the first four. The winner was determined after the Armageddon formula struggle.


Hearty congratulations to Mark Lefler, Larry Kaufman, Erdo Gunes and the whole team.


To its collection of championship titles, Komodo Dragon adds another one from 2022.

I always emphasize that I am very pleased with the good results of chess engines that are developed and regularly made available to a wide range of users. Among such chess engines is Komodo Dragon.


Final standing.


Conditions:

Double round-robin tournament. Time control 60 minutes with 15 seconds per move.


Hardware:

A very good result was achieved by Ginkgo (World Chess Software Champion 2022), who finished third, only half a point behind the winner.


Noteworthy is the nice result of Shredder, which played on hardware using ARM processors. Let's hope that the new version, which we are looking forward to, will be even stronger.

Hi Darius! Stockfish 220724 is still much stronger...

Could you try to recompile Berserk 10dev in the 2 ways like BrainLearn 18 ?

B9 crashes very often on M1 and even on PC 🤔


Here Koivisto 8.13 Mac M1 compiled by me ...very stable luckily

Strange that Stockfish has not participated to the event, only 5 challengers ad few rounds! I remember when engines was dozens in the past.

Maybe because Chessbase is still selling Fat Fritz 2.0 SE 😱 Dragon 3.0 and Ginkgo (Fritz 19) and without Stockfish these titles are meaningless. But at least Berserk, Koivisto, Ethereal, Revenge and others would have added something more to this event... 🙄
