Komodo 11.01 - free download

About Us by GM Larry Kaufman


Komodo started in 2007 as a joint project by programmer Don Dailey and myself, grandmaster Larry Kaufman, when I was a member of the team that created Rybka 3, then the world's strongest chess engine. It was then called "Doch" as an abbreviation for "Don's Chess", but we learned that this name is not suitable in the German language, and I suggested the name "Komodo", both because the Komodo Dragon is the world's most fearsome lizard, and because "Dragon" suggests the Dragon Sicilian, a popular fighting opening. At the time it was mostly just for fun and as a learning experience for me; we never expected it to be a rival for Rybka, but things turned out differently.
