Komodo Dragon 3.2 Chess Program - Digital Download

The new Komodo Dragon 3.2 engine has gained about 20 Elo points
over version 3.0 and more than 100 Elo points over version 2.0 when
using a processor core in blitz. That's a huge improvement for a program
that already reached at an Elo level of over 3500! The gain is even
greater (120 to 130 Elo points) for unbalanced openings, e.g. rare
variations or gambits. On multiple cores or longer time controls the Elo
gain can be somewhat smaller, due to the higher draw range.

Better playing strength = faster analysis

The absolute gain in playing strength also offers real practical
advantages: Komodo Dragon 3.2 takes only about a quarter of the time to
play or analyze at the same level as Dragon 2! Or it plays better chess
in the same time on a single core than its predecessor did on four
cores. The large Elo increase is due to a new net structure for NNUE
with a corresponding new net, as well as various optimizations and
improvements in the search.

One for all: Playing strength freely selectable between Elo 1 and 3500

The previous playing level scheme model has been replaced in Komodo
Dragon 3.2 with arbitrarily adjustable Elo strength settings from 1 to a
maximum of 3500. The Elo values refer to human play in rapid chess and
are can be used to ensure balanced games. With reduced playing strength
the engine makes the kind of mistakes that are to be expected from
humans with rating level that is set. The Elo settings of Komodo Dragon 3
have been tested and tuned against many human players, of various
playing strengths. It was optimized in the GM level in many rapid chess
games against GM Alex Lenderman, who is part of the Komodo development
team
