I had Komodo13 play in the Javiolo engine tournament app vs Stockfish 10, which it lost 1 game and drew 30+ games. Also vs other Stockfish9 derived engines Cfish, Corchess, Brainfish from Javiolo, of which it lost 1 vs Corchess and drew 40+ games. In Chess for Android GUI vs SF10, Komodo lost 12 games and won 4. Maybe there are optimal settings? Doesn't show strength or superiority over SF10 & for sure not SF11. It's still very strong, but free apps are equal or stronger. So what's the point?!?!

Great engine! I bought the Komodo 13 as a support to the developer of this excellent engine. A great help to my chess study. Kudos to the developer. Looking forward for more improvements.

This is an entirely new breed of chess engine - Increadable!!!! Komodo 13 is like no other chess engine I have seen before. I almost stopped using Komodo and Stockfish because in short, they are too strong to be relevant. They are so far removed from human play and abilty. However this new Monti Carlo mode makes the engine play like a human, and at lower levels even makes classic human mistakes!! This is ground breaking! Now you can actually use Komodo to practice and analyse at the human level.

It is really weaker than stockfish 10. Stockfish is free and open source .and Komodo is charged too much money but still stockfish is better than Komodo 13. If you want to really solve this problem. Then give us update.

Thanks for making this great chess engine available in the play store. I pity the fools who give this one star because supposedly it can't beat stockfish 10. They're missing the whole point of having different evaluations. Personally, I've been using Chiron 4 recently. Now, I'll plug this Komodo 13 into a couple of my analysis apps because using different engines is fun.

An impressive alternative to Stockfish 10. I've been here since Komodo 9 and I'd just like to say I rather enjoy the way your you have your options set up for the chess engine, and how the engine "thinks" in comparison to others. You have outdone yourselves 👍 Solid work. Keep up the good stuff!
